Steel Beam Types We Fabricate

We manufacture a comprehensive range of structural steel beams to suit any application, from residential builds to heavy industrial projects.

Universal Beams (UB)

The industry standard for structural framing. I-shaped cross-section ideal for load-bearing applications in residential and commercial construction.

Universal Columns (UC)

H-shaped sections with equal flange widths. Perfect for vertical load-bearing applications where exceptional strength-to-weight ratio is required.

Welded Beams (WB)

Custom fabricated from three steel plates welded together. Allows for tailored dimensions to match specific load requirements along the beam length.

Tapered Flange Beams

Lighter alternative to universal beams. Cost-effective solution for secondary structural elements where high torsional resistance isn't critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our steel beam fabrication and installation services.

What types of steel beams do you fabricate?

We fabricate all standard structural steel beam types including Universal Beams (UB), Universal Columns (UC), Welded Beams (WB), Parallel Flange Channels (PFC), and custom welded sections. Our capabilities extend to any specification required for residential, commercial, or industrial applications.

How long does steel beam fabrication take?

Typical fabrication time ranges from 1-3 weeks depending on project complexity and current workload. Simple residential beams may be completed within days, while complex industrial projects require more time. We always provide accurate timelines during quoting and work to meet your construction schedule.

Do you provide installation services?

Yes, we offer complete installation services with our licensed riggers and structural steel installers. We coordinate with your builders and site managers to ensure seamless integration with existing structures, including reconnection of timber elements where required.

What information do you need for a quote?

For accurate quoting, we need your construction drawings or architectural plans, engineer's specifications (if available), beam sizes and quantities, any special finish requirements, delivery location, and preferred timeline. Our team can also work from preliminary sketches for initial estimates. Get in touch to start your quote.

Are your steel beams compliant with Australian Standards?

Absolutely. All our fabrication work complies with AS 4100 (Steel Structures), AS/NZS 5131 (Fabrication and Erection), and relevant National Construction Code requirements. We provide full documentation and can supply compliance certificates as required by building certifiers.
