How we work

First appearing in New Zealand in the late 1960s, steel framing has become very popular over the years with international steel construction trends bolstered by recent advances in technology.

Now, with the latest and greatest mechanical support, our systems have been refined to deliver the most efficient, effective framework.

The nuts and bolts of it

The steel frames consist of roll formed C-shaped channel sections, designed and produced using computer aid to automatically provide strength, holes and dimples. This process also delivers maximum speed and precision and allows sections to be assembled to very tight tolerances.

Most framing panels are pre-assembled in the factory and then rapidly erected on site using self-drilling screws. Service holes to allow for plumbing and electrical wiring are pre-punched at the factory and plastic grommets are used to prevent damage to pipes and wiring.

N-STEEL uses FRAMECAD technology and all of our designs are made in accordance with AS/NZS 4600:2005 for cold-formed steel structures.
 N-STEEL framing comfortably complies with the New Zealand Building code requirements and is accepted by local authorities nationwide.

What we make

As no two projects are ever quite the same, our products and services are tailored to meet the specific individual needs of our clients. We assemble frames in the factory and can deliver and erect them on site.

We make trusses, joists, wall and partition frames out of galvanized high tensile steel with thickness ranging from 0.55mm up to 1.6mm.

The range of our designs includes: Houses, Portable Cottages, Garages, Rural Structures, Greenhouses and Garden Sheds
