THE PROJECT CHALLENGE /

The builder was looking to replace heavy and time-consuming structural steel and traditional timber materials with a light gauge steel framing solution.

THE CORTEK STEEL FRAMING SOLUTION /

> Following initial design meetings, Cortek Framing by SBS Group was awarded the contract to pre-fabricate a Smart Frame solution for the top level wall and roof trusses with all shop drawings and frame layout plans completed in house.

> Engineering including 1507 certification was also coordinated for both the loadbearing and non-loadbearing frames.

> Framing was fabricated using light gauge Truecore steel, true and straight to suit the building requirements. Once on site, frames were simply lifted and installed in sections.

> Balustrade and planter box framing was also designed and manufactured off site for smarter, easier and faster install.
