Changes

Q. Can I modify the standard plans or provide my own design ?

A. Yes. All plans can be modified to suit your needs. You can change the number of rooms, increase or decrease the size of the house or if you prefer, you can bring your own plans for us to cost.

Steel Frames

Q. Are steel framed homes noisy?

A. Some lesser quality steel frames can be noisy, especially those which are welded together. Our frames are riveted and bolted together which removes any movement, therefore it sits there more quietly than even a timber framed house.

Delivery

Q. Where do you deliver?

A. Currently we deliver throughout Queensland and northern New South Wales.

Australian made

Q. Are our Steelbuilt frames made in Australia?

A. Yes, our frames are manufactured by our local supplier in Queensland using Australian Steel.

Payment

Q. How does your payment structure work?

A. Our payment structure works as follows:

An initial deposit of $4400 is required to organise plans, a specification and documentation
A progress payment of 50% is due upon placing the order of the kit
Balance of payment is due 7 days before delivery of materials.

Owner Builder

Q. What is the process to become an owner builder?

A. The process to obtain an owner builders permit depends on which state you are building in, and generally will require you to undergo a short course either online or at a training school as well as pay a small application fee. **Please note this is correct at publishing and you should do your own research as well.

Builders

Q. Do you have builders who can do the job for me?
