TRUECORE® steel structural framing solutions

Designed for today’s construction challenges

BlueScope has produced a new suite of capabilities resources, providing detailed information and case studies that show the full potential of light gauge steel made from TRUECORE® steel when used in structural framing. Written for architects, builders, engineers, sustainability managers and fabricators, the suite of resources includes a comprehensive Capabilities Guide, presentation, and revitalised website application pages and detailed case studies that demonstrate the successful use of light gauge structural framing made from TRUECORE® steel in a wide range of construction applications.

Current economic and construction challenges have created new opportunities to build more competitively, while at the same time reducing risks associated with escalating costs and delays. Industry changes driven by digital technology, off-site pre-fabrication, and changes in labour availability, have all contributed to the successful use of structural framing made from light gauge steel, not only in residential construction but more recently in a wide variety of commercial applications.

The consistency of TRUECORE®️ steel as a framing material coupled with an industry embracing digital innovation have delivered decades of benefits to the residential home market.
