Investing in Quality that Lasts 🏠

Steel frames offer a rot-proof, warp-proof, and cost-effective foundation that stands the test of time.

By choosing light gauge steel, you’re choosing a material that’s easier on your transport budget and your project timeline. We’re keeping our prices as sharp as our frames to ensure your next build stays within reach.

🏗️ Building in 2026? Steel is now the smarter, more cost-effective choice.

Recent QV CostBuilder data shows structural timber prices have jumped again — rising 5.2% last quarter. With timber heading upward, many builders are now finding our light-gauge steel frames coming in cheaper than timber options for new residential builds.

And with our steel pricing remaining steady, it’s a great moment to lock in your New Year projects with cost certainty, improved durability, and faster on-site installation.

If you’re planning a 2026 build, now’s the time to compare your framing options — the numbers might surprise you.
