Timber 

Timber framing is the most used framing solution across Australia. We provide engineering certification for single and multi-storey framed structures. Our teams also design the lintels, beams and wall bracing. We have engineering solutions for all your residential needs. 

The strong relationships we have built with suppliers mean we can provide you with cost-effective solutions for timber-framed designs. 

Our experienced team offers timber engineering design for the following: 

• Roof framing 
• Wall framing 
• Floor framing 
• Post design 
• Carport/veranda/pergola framing 

Benefits of Timber Framing 

• A reliable, proven and popular solution 
• Strong, stable and quiet 
• No welding needed on site 
• Suitable to use in a corrosive environment 
• Easy to work with, fast to assemble and easy to change to suit changing requirements 
• A sustainable resource that captures carbon 
• Lower cost compared to steel framing 
• Timber is a natural insulator and reduces the need for different insulation methods such as thermal barriers

Steel 

At Structerre, we have engineers familiar with steel framing, which is becoming more widely used in the residential industry. We are able to convert timber designs to LGS, and provide engineering certification for single and multi-storey framed structures. Our teams also design the lintels, beams and wall bracing as required. 

We are passionate, dynamic, ever-adapting and embrace changing technologies and materials. We can provide you with solutions to fit any job. 

Benefits of Light Gauge Steel Framing 

• Cost savings through reduced construction time 

• Fast-paced construction is ideal with a permanent formwork trussed floor system 

• Can be incorporated for any overall depth floor system and to suit design requirements 

• Little to no transfer of noise or vibrations – less noise and disruption for neighbouring buildings 

• LGS has a higher strength to weight ratio compared to timber 

• Steel is weather-proof and will not warp or swell, this also means it is not subject to rot, decay or moisture damage 

• LGS frames are 100% termite-proof and pesticide-free 

• LGS offers design freedom, steel is ideal for open plan housing and offers flexibility for easy alterations and additions if needed 

• Floor trusses allow easy install of services 

• LGS is ideal in cyclonic regions 

Why Choose Structerre? 

At Structerre, we have a national dedicated team that focuses on LGS projects in both the residential and light commercial sectors. With over 20 years of LGS experience, our engineers know LGS inside out and have strong relationships with key steel suppliers, allowing our clients to receive the best and most cost-effective solutions. Structerre is associated with the National Associated of Framed Housing (NASH) and we are constantly looking at better ways to serve our clients. We also offer LGS inspections once the frame has been built to ensure the best outcome for all involved.
