Urban Steel Frames & Trusses delivers high-quality steel wall frames designed for superior performance and reliability. Our walls utilise a C-Section profile, available in both 70mm and 90mm thicknesses, providing flexibility to meet different project requirements. Each frame is connected with durable steel rivets, ensuring robust and secure connections.

Our Scottsdale system incorporates a C-Section profile with design that enhances wall strength. Our equipment utilises an end bearing tool to ensure that studs sit flush between the bottom and top plates of the wall by reducing vertical joint gap. This accommodates higher compression loads and increases stability, replacing the need for a double stud, saving on both labour and material while also reducing frame weight while lifting.

For additional structural reinforcement, our walls feature a staggered noggin design. We pre-install K brace screws, strap bracing, and lintel plating in our factory, ensuring compliance with engineering standards, including detailed adherence to the Livable Housing Design Standard requirements.

Additionally, to streamline the construction process, service holes are precut into the frames during manufacturing. This approach reduces on-site workload and enhances project efficiency. Whether for new builds or renovations, our steel wall frames combine strength, precision, and practical features to support successful and timely project completion.

At Urban Steel Frames & Trusses, our trusses are crafted using a robust Top Hat Profile, renowned for its strength and capability to span distances of over 20 metres between load-bearing walls. This profile significantly outperforms traditional C-Section profiles, making it ideal for both large scale residential and commercial projects.

Our trusses are assembled with Nut and Bolt Connections, featuring bolts with a specialised thread length that prevents crushing or compromising the integrity of the profile during tightening. This meticulous approach to connection quality ensures durability and reliability.

We also offer the option to manufacture multi-ply trusses in the factory by coupling two trusses together, providing added versatility and support. Our truss designs incorporate detailed provisions for services, such as air conditioning units, ensuring seamless integration with other building components.

To facilitate efficient on-site assembly, each truss is numbered according to the layout and packed for easy identification and placement, whether by unit or specific location within the frame. This thoughtful preparation streamlines the construction process, ensuring a smooth and organised installation with minimal downtime

Urban Steel Frames & Trusses’ roof panels are crafted from a C-Section profile, allowing for quick and efficient formation. Our innovative hybrid system leverages the strengths of both the Top hat Truss and C-Section Panel systems to deliver superior performance. The Truss system is designed to achieve large spans, while the Panel enables installers to quickly cover extensive areas of the roof or ceiling with just a few panels, significantly reducing the time needed on-site to install smaller trusses.

One of the standout features of this hybrid system is the formation of Hybrid Hip Ends, where panels are supported by the exterior walls and a girder truss—eliminating the need for multiple corner jacks and jack trusses. By combining both panels and trusses, we maximise the advantages of each system, ensuring a more efficient installation process and greater flexibility in design.

Urban Steel Frames & Trusses’ Light Gauge Steel Floor Joists provide a reliable and long-lasting solution for both residential and commercial flooring systems. Engineered to be lightweight yet incredibly strong, our joists ensure a solid and level flooring surface that remains straight and true over time, even under the most challenging conditions. Unlike timber alternatives, our steel joists won’t shrink, warp, rot, or sag, giving builders confidence in the durability of their projects, regardless of climate.

Moisture is often a significant concern in construction, but with our Light Gauge Steel Floor Joists, you can rest easy. Naturally resistant to mould, mildew, and termites, steel is the ideal choice for areas prone to dampness or high humidity. This eliminates the risk of water damage or pest infestations, reducing the need for costly repairs down the road while providing a solid foundation that outperforms traditional materials.

While robust, our steel joists are also easy to handle and install, making them a practical choice for builders. Their lightweight design streamlines the construction process, helping reduce labour time and costs without sacrificing strength. The long-term stability and reliability of steel offer a significant advantage over timber, making it the goto option for professionals seeking efficiency and lasting performance.

Another benefit of using steel floor joists is the comfort they provide. Unlike wood, which can creak, crack, and change shape over time, steel joists maintain their form, ensuring a quiet and stable flooring experience. For homeowners and commercial clients alike, this means greater peace of mind and a consistently comfortable environment throughout the life of the building

Urban Steel Frames & Trusses extends its expertise beyond light gauge steel frames, offering supply of heavy gauge structural steel for columns, beams, purlins, and bearers. This additional service ensures that builders have a complete framing solution for their construction projects, with all key structural components being supplied in one place.

By providing these essential elements, we help streamline the build process, reducing the need to source materials from multiple suppliers. Our structural steel components are engineered in line with typical connection supply for durability, strength, and precision, ensuring that every part of the build, from the foundation to the framework, meets the highest standards of quality and safety.

At Urban Steel Frames & Trusses, we offer Steel frame detailing services using ScotSteel, ScotLayout and ScotEngineering to streamline the design and construction documentation process for wall and truss framing. The software enables the creation of detailed assembly and construction documents, with customizable title blocks for company logos and project details, and colour-coding to assist with steel gauge differentiation on-site.

In addition to its design capabilities, these features incorporate powerful engineering analysis through the ScotEngineering application. This tool allows us to perform structural engineering analysis on individual frames. By simulating various load cases, such as roof dead loads, and applying these loads across different members of the frame, the software helps ensure that our designs are structurally sound.

ScotEngineering provides detailed analysis results, including node reactions, member forces, moments, and displacements, which are generated in easy-to-read Excel spreadsheets. This allows us to make informed decisions based on precise calculations, ensuring that every frame meets rigorous safety and performance standards. This integration of design and engineering in one streamlined system ensures accuracy and efficiency at every stage of construction, from planning to execution
