There is a reason steel frames are emerging as the way of the future for the construction industry. The rigidity, strength and customisation of steel frames have made them the material of choice for all framing needs.
The below images show the impact caused by Tropical cyclone Ilsa, when winds of 288km/h ripped through the Pardoo Roadhouse in Western Australia. Fortunately the frames were left standing. This demonstrates how durable a light gauge steel frame is. If this building had been constructed out of timber frames, you can almost guarantee there would be nothing left standing. Causing the rebuild process to cost more than it would if you use light gauge steel frames.

Benefits to using light gauge steel:
Disaster resistant – Your building will remain a quality piece of architecture even through the toughest natural elements. Steel is completely non-combustible material, so your frames won’t burn, char or contribute to the spread of a fire. It’s also coated in a zinc-aluminium alloy to resist rusting. After a bush fire, steel frames can be the difference between fixing your building or having to rebuild entirely.
Unlike timber, steel frames are 100% termite proof. No termite treatment or ongoing maintenance required.
Engineered light gauge steel will not rot, warp, twist, bow or shrink over time, so your frame will always look as good as the day it was installed.
Steel is the environmental building choice. It’s completely recyclable, although this is rarely required given its infinite lifespan
Why choose Dynamic Steel Frame?
A Dynamic Steel Frame’s wall frame is durable, accurate and incredibly strong. In fact, our TRUECORE® steel features one of the highest strength to weight ratios of any conventional building product. Plus, it comes with a 50 year corrosion warranty from BlueScope Steel*.

Nuville Court showcases Dynamic Steel Frame’s residential steel frame service. Producing a precise, durable and robust metal house frame from the ground up.
Below both the client and detailer speak on their overall views of the project. From their favourite aspects of the project, to the hurdles they faced during the design process and how they were able to overcome these.
Detailer Notes:
What is your favourite design feature?
My favorite design feature is the cathedral / rafter roof which was designed to blend in through the split-level roof lines which once finished, will look amazing.
Michael – Detailer
What did you enjoy about detailing this project?
I really enjoyed detailing this job. Designing the cathedral roof, attics in roof space and figuring out wall height’s due to the split levels. Peter made the process of this job easy. With every bump we came across, we sat down and fixed it. It always comes with great pleasure to help our clients build their dream home for their family.
Michael – Detailer
Were there any difficulties that you came across during the detailing process? How did you overcome this?
The most difficult design aspect to this project was the roof over the stair area. I worked alongside our engineer, trying to tie this in to match the roof lines and coming up with a solution that would not only give the client (Peter) what he really wanted from this area but put a huge smile on his face with how amazing it looked in the 3D model.
Michael – Detailer
How did you manage client expectations?
Communication. Communication was a big part to this job as it is in every job we take on. I thank Peter, for not only understanding the prosses, but understanding when things had to be altered. And because of this we were able to achieved every expectation of his dream home.
Michael – Detailer
Client Notes:
How was DSF able to meet the architectural intent of your design?
DSF took on the challenge to build my multi split level house, they were confident they could achieve this build with minimal Structural Steel which they did. The design has extensive cathedral and pitched rafter roofs which were required to blend in through the split level roof lines which they got perfect. Another great feature they were able to complete upon request was extensive attic space within the truss’s to house the projects mechanical system and gain further storage space.
Peter – Owner builder
Were there any issues that arose during the detailing process? How was DSF able to overcome this?
During the detailing process we became aware of multiple design ceiling height issues, DSF managed to work through these with their engineer to ensure the final product was what we wanted. Further to this, the detailer worked hand in hand with us to make sure all the finer details workedsuch as inwall toilet systems, vanity mirror nooks, studs correctly aligned for plumbing fixtures, stud setouts for weatherboards taken into consideration, this list could go on.
Peter – Owner builder
Was DSF able to meet your project’s timeframe?
From detailing through to production and final delivery, DSF hit all timelines promised. I was extremely impressed on how well the final delivery process went. We worked together to split the project up into separate delivery bundles that worked for the stages I wanted installed onsite. With deliveries coming on time, it made for a smooth process, allowing us to utilize the delivery crane to get these in the most beneficial location.
Peter – Owner builder
Why did you choose to use light gauge steel framing for this project?
Lighter. Straighter. Better… Long term, maintenance free house.
Peter – Owner builder

Dynamic Steel Frame has been working on this recently completed townhouse development for a year now.
Our detailer Dai worked closely with the client to ensure the best outcome for this project. Below he speaks on some key points from this project.
Are there any houses that stood out to you? What is your favourite design features?
“Type F – unit 56 is a unique design. This particular type was one that was not repeated across the project. It’s got the largest amount of steelwork and the most complicated hip roof design compared to the rest. Saddle trusses were used to achieve the architectural intent, as well as making for easy installation onsite.“
Dai – Detailer
What was your favourite and least favourite part of the design?
“The design of a hip roof is always challenging. This can either be the most or lest favourite part of any design. It was a very challenging aspect of this project, but it was very satisfying to see it work so well onsite, once completed.“
Dai – Detailer
How did you manage the potential material delays and client expectations?
“We work very closely with our client’s in every project. However in a large townhouse project like this one it is essential! I had efficient discussions with the client’s draftsperson on the design intent which helped to minimise unnecessary rectification of frames onsite. Communication with the site manager assisted with anticipating the production workload along with site demand. With this we managed to deliver frames within the clients requested schedule.”

Finally we have ended our year as winners, accepting the award for ‘Innovative cold formed steel buildings’ at the recent Australian Steel Excellence Awards Gala in Sydney for our Grattan street façade project.
This project embodies everything light gauge steel has to offer! A huge congratulations to all who were apart of this project.
The team at Dynamic Steel Frame would like to thank all of our clients, friends and supporters for yet another fantastic year. We look forward to what this new year of 2023 has install for us all!
We loved how the building sloped back from the street to enable light to get to the playground below and the way that the light gauge steel framing was able to faithfully produce the architectural intent.
The challenge we had was enabling the facade to rake back from the street, whilst being accurate and also allowing for deflection in the slab across seven different levels of the building.
Our detailer Brandan Verzantvoort spent a lot of time on this project, ensuring that everything was as per design.
Light gauge steel worked incredibly well and was critical to the success of this project. With our automated roll formers and very high-tech design software we were able scallop the floor joist style members over the edge of the slab both top and bottom then insert bracketry exactly where required. This ensured that onsite it was a simple process of bolting on the brackets and then bolting the brackets to the frames.
Winning this award make us very proud!
This project embodies everything light gauge steel has to offer!
