Increase the efficiency and
ROI of your next development with Green Frame

Cold-formed steel is readily available, fast to stand and has a superior strength-to-weight ratio, making it the smart choice for builders and housing developers.

Advantages of Steel vs Wood

  • Produced and manufactured in New Zealand, Green Frame steel framing is readily available.

  • Due to its lightweight nature and precise manufacturing, steel framing is a lot quicker to install compared to wood. Service holes are pre-installed, making life easy for sub-contractors. From initial design & manufacture through to the final fit-out, the steel framing process outpaces wood, significantly reducing the project's delivery timeframe.

  • The superior strength-to-weight ratio of light gauged steel, opens up more cost-effective options for open-span housing designs.

  • Light-gauged steel is non-absorbent, eliminating any downtime associated with waiting for framing to dry.

  • Engineered to millimetre precision, steel framing is stable and doesn't contract or expand. Tradies no longer have to waste time remedying warped timber and bowed walls.

  • With all framing manufactured offsite, there is virtually no on-site waste, saving cleanup time and reducing landfill fees.

  • Steel framing has been proven to better dissipate seismic activity, reducing the impact on the physical structure. Being non-combustible, steel framing will not fuel a house fire.

  • Increased speed of delivery, frame installation, and drying times means less downtime for tradies and greater resource utilisation.
