Today’s construction industry is fast paced. Smarter ways of building are essential in keeping up with demand, project deadlines and staying on budget.

When it comes to the construction of top level framing for mid-rise apartment projects, cold formed steel wall and roof trusses are becoming the preferred choice for many builders.

The advancements in cold formed steel framing offers competitive solutions with savings achieved in many ways.

The SBS Group lightweight and high strength engineered framing system replaced the traditional timber and structural steel for this 5 level project. All stages of the Build SmarterTM process were coordinated from initial design through to in-house detailing, modelling, engineering, fabrication and delivery.

Frames were manufactured to suit exact specifications and for easy installation. This reduced the amount of waste on site and extensive labour that is usually required for stick building methods. As steel requires less maintenance compared with timber, it is not susceptible to moisture, pest or termite damage. This is another major advantage for the builder and client owner.

SBS Group…smarter building solutions to meet today’s construction challenges.

When searching for a smarter way to build an additional level to their existing office building, the builder approached SBS Group for an easier and productive solution.

Based on prior experience and similar projects, the SBS Group team were confident that a lightweight steel alternative could eliminate a significant quantity of the costly structural steel originally specified.

All walls and roof trusses were manufactured using BHP’s superior Truecore steel material. The SBS in-house

detailing team coordinated shop drawings, 3D modelling, framing layouts and independently engineered 1507 certification.

Frames were pre-fabricated and delivered for a quick and efficient install. With steel frames pre-fabricated straight, true and accurate, there was no risk of shrinking, rotting or twisting which often occurs when timber is used.

SBS Group…easy, fast and smart lightweight framing solutions.
