Modular construction
Modular construction and DfMA (Design for Manufacture and Assembly) projects are helping to advance building practices that are cost-effective and efficient.
How TRUECORE® steel has advanced construction techniques
Precision engineered, lightweight and strong, structural framing made from TRUECORE® steel provides the durability, integrity and consistent quality needed to build standardized components that are easy to manufacture, assemble and transport.
Fast and precise CAD/CAM integrated fabrication
Digital integration of CAD/CAM software with advanced fabrication machinery makes off-site fabrication of light gauge steel framing fast and precise. Framing systems include software and design support for engineering as well as fabrication machinery to ensure complete and seamless production that minimizes waste and reduces the cost of prefabricated framing.
Reliable supply with local support
TRUECORE® steel is proudly manufactured in Australia by BlueScope and backed with a warranty of up to 50 years* for eligible residential projects and their applicants, and up to 25 years* for eligible commercial projects and applicants. BlueScope provides access to local technical expertise on frame construction, material and building science, and metallurgy.
Reusable and cost-effective
Lightweight, strong and extremely robust to withstand the rigors of lengthy transport, modules made from TRUECORE® steel can be quickly assembled on-site, reducing project timelines and at the same time offering reusable and cost-effective building solutions.
Reliable performance and supply are the keystones of modular construction
“One of our really good selling points is that we use frames made from TRUECORE® steel. Our houses are delivered anywhere from 15 kilometres to 2500 kilometres away, so they have to be very strong to withstand the rigours of many hours or days of travel.”
How modular construction uses framing made from TRUECORE® steel
Modular builders are building a sustainable and successful business with the help of framing made from TRUECORE® steel.
Read how Oly Homes have built their modular homes around the benefits and the inner strength of TRUECORE® steel.
Using TRUECORE® steel, TR Homes design and fabricate their frames and homes and then build them in regional WA.
Read how WA’s Summit Modular has taken the concept of Tiny Homes to a whole new level with framing made from TRUECORE® steel.
