Steel frames and trusses for the Gold Coast & Northern Rivers NSW
From the northern Gold Coast growth corridor at Pimpama and Coomera through Southport and the southern beaches to Tweed Heads, Byron Bay and Ballina across the border.
Building in the Gold Coast & Northern NSW
Coastal sites bring corrosion into the frame design: steel framing close to breaking surf or salt water needs the right coating and detailing.
Across the border, NSW rules apply: NSW owner-builder permits, NSW bush fire prone land mapping and council-specific coastal hazard planning.
Wind classification
This region is outside the cyclonic coastal band north of Bundaberg, but every site still has its own wind classification under AS 4055, set by terrain, shielding and topography. Your engineer or certifier provides it and the frames are designed to it.
