Common Questions from Owner Builders
Do I need special tools?
No. Steel frames are assembled with a standard drill, tek screws, and basic hand tools. We provide fixing schedules showing exactly what fasteners to use where.
Can I install steel frames myself?
Yes. Many owner builders install their own frames. Walls are assembled flat on the slab then stood up. Trusses require a crane or telehandler for placement.
What qualifications do I need?
In Victoria, you need an Owner Builder Certificate of Consent from the VBA for projects over $16,000. We can help with the documentation for your permit.
How do I get a building permit?
We supply all engineering documentation, energy ratings, and structural details. Your building surveyor uses these to issue your permit.
