Our services, start to finish

Every project we quote starts from the same product: precision light gauge steel wall frames and roof framing, manufactured in New Zealand. What changes is the drawing set, the engineering input and the way it is packed and shipped.

Standard supply

Our standard product is the structural steel framing package. It is not a finished house, and we are clear about that from the first conversation.
