Key Benefits Delivered

Fast and efficient installation

The installation of the wall framing and roof trusses (totalling 6,888.39 lineal metres) made from TRUECORE^® steel was completed in seven days. (RS/LL) When compared to completing the same build using stick-built timber framing, it’s estimated that the framing would have taken at least twice the amount of time to finish the installation. (LL)

Strong and dimensionally accurate

All trades on the project, including Partek’s site manager, were really pleased with the likeness of the building to the drawings, and the quality and stability of the structure. (LL)

Project Details

Independently owned and operated True Steel Frames is located just outside Adelaide in SA. They opened their doors in 2015 and have already seen fast growth due to their talented team and many years of experience in the construction industry.

In a practice that is becoming more common, True Steel Frames was first engaged for the Salisbury Childcare Centre by the lead architect, Flightpath Architects, during the design phase of the project. During this phase, they worked closely with the Flightpath team to ensure that the wide spans being proposed could be achieved on a tight program and budget. During the tender to builders, True Steel Frames was nominated as the preferred channel to ensure ‘compatibility of design’ and won the contract for the fabrication of the framing and installation onsite.
