Steel Framing Design in Brisbane
Steel framing has been used in Australia for over 50 years. Traditionally, steel frames were predominantly utilised in industrial and commercial construction; however, their use has expanded significantly in recent years within residential developments due to their strength, durability, and design flexibility.
SNG Engineers provides professional steel framing design services in Brisbane, supported by detailed structural engineering assessments, foundation design, and soil testing where required to ensure compatibility between the structure and ground conditions. All designs are completed in accordance with Australian Standards and local council requirements.
Types of Steel Framing Design Services Provided by SNG Engineers
Hot-Rolled Steel Frames
Hot-rolled steel is manufactured at high temperatures, allowing it to be formed without hardening during fabrication. These sections offer high strength and are commonly used for long-span applications. Hot-rolled steel frames are typically utilised in industrial sheds, shopping centres, and architecturally designed residential buildings.
Cold-Rolled Steel Frames
Cold-rolled steel is manufactured at room temperature using roll-forming processes and high-tensile steel. These members are widely used in both industrial and residential construction, commonly for purlins, girts, joists, lintels, and beams in steel-framed housing.
Light Gauge Steel Frames
Light gauge steel consists of cold-formed thin steel sheets shaped into ‘C’ sections through a series of rollers. These sections are used in the fabrication of wall frames, roof trusses, and floor systems, providing a lightweight, precise, and efficient framing solution for residential and light commercial buildings.
