Structural steel is transforming residential construction, offering a powerful combination of versatility and strength. Its impressive span capabilities open up design possibilities like expansive living areas and architecturally striking features such as rolled and cantilevered roof lines.

Structural steel was once hidden away from view but in more recent times exposed structural steel members are becoming the main aesthetic feature in today’s modern designs.

For over 34 years Network Steel has been in the business of integrating structural steel into timber-framed homes as leading structural steel fabricators. The extent of the structural steel content can vary dramatically depending upon the complexity of the home design.

For example, we work with the majority of South East Queensland’s most prominent home builders & renovators, some of whom focus on single storey dwellings that may only require a single steel SHS support post or a quantity of timber post support bracket and others who target the two-story homes, multi-density unit development blocks or large architecturally designed residences.

With our experience, we've found that each type of project requires a different approach to fulfilling the structural steel requirements ranging from a hand sketch on the back of a piece of fibro, through to projects requiring cad detail drawings and project management of the structural package.
