FAQs
Steel offers exceptional strength without heavy weight, so it supports an additional storey while placing minimal load on your existing structure. It does not warp, shrink or bow—and it is non-combustible and termite-proof, giving you long-term peace of mind.
Absolutely. Steel is highly recyclable, and prefabrication cuts down waste on site. That makes steel framing a more sustainable choice—and one that leaves a lighter footprint without compromising strength.
Yes—it’s one of steel’s standout benefits. Whether you want open-plan living, large windows, or unusual layouts, steel’s precision and flexibility allow us to tailor your addition exactly to your vision.
Steel handles extreme weather very well. Its strength and rigidity make it ideal in high winds or storms—and unlike timber, it remains dimensionally stable in temperature extremes.
Western Australian weather can be harsh—but steel thrives here. It resists termites, fire and moisture. And when built to current Australian standards, it stands up to our sun, heat and occasional storms with ease.
We support you end to end. That means design using advanced software, supply, prefabrication with pre-braced and pre-punched components, and full installation. We also handle the crucial connections between your new upper level and existing home—so everything meshes together securely.
It is easy to begin. Get in touch with our friendly team, share your ideas and site details, and we’ll guide you through design options, structural engineering, pricing estimates, and scheduling. From there, you can move confidently into planning and construction.
