Mid-rise apartments and hotels
The efficient use of light gauge, structural framing made from TRUECORE® steel has been tested and refined over decades by Australia’s leading builders.
Structural framing that provides multi-level benefits
Framing made from TRUECORE® steel is supported by a knowledge base that lends itself to the repetitive nature of low to mid-level, multi-dwelling applications.
Design and engineering integrated with fabrication
Designs can be previewed in 3D to ensure the architect’s vision can be realised, whilst fully engineered structural and facade solutions can be prototyped and tested prior to prefabrication. Thorough detailing during the design phase can achieve exact tolerances during off-site prefabrication, resulting in smooth installation once delivered on site.
Highly considered and cost-effective.
Fire performance, acoustics and wind and load transfer capabilities make TRUECORE® steel a highly considered framing material for builds that are often repetitive in nature.
If desired, light gauge framing made from TRUECORE® steel can be efficiently and cost-effectively integrated with other structural materials such as hot rolled steel or concrete.
Easy handling and reduced on-site steel waste
The high strength-to-weight ratio of framing made from prefabricated and precision engineered TRUECORE® steel makes it easy to manage on-site while also helping to keep steel waste to an absolute minimum. Additionally, TRUECORE® steel achieves a Responsible Product Value of 21 in the Green Building Council of Australia’s Responsible Products Score Checker.

Why apartment projects are using TRUECORE® steel
“Once familiar with the approach, the lightness and accuracy of LGS frames made for efficient installation. Using installers that specialise in LGS framing installation was also beneficial”
Read how Plus Architecture and Cobild worked with specialist fabricator Dynamic Steel Frame to achieve this stunning success.
Read how the framing system made from TRUECORE® steel saved approximately two months on the construction program and associated preliminaries.
