Preece Construction uses various materials to build new homes.
To help you choose the material that is right for you, here are the benefits of building with steel.
- Steel won’t shrink, rot or warp and this may reduce any ongoing maintenance costs.
- If your block is sloping or has a difficult elevation, using steel to raise the house can improve underfloor access and ventilation.
- You may be able to reduce site preparation costs by using a steel design, as there will be less cutting and filling or soil.
- Steel is durable and is resistant to termites, European Borers, fire and corrosion so it is strong and long lasting.
- Steel roof trusses provide larger spans for open plan areas so there will be less load bearing walls.
- Construction times are generally quicker than most other building products so you can enjoy your new home sooner.
- Building the frame from steel allows more space between the external and internal walls for insulation. Your home will be warmer in winter and cooler in summer so your heating and cooling costs may be less.
- Installation is simple and straightforward as the steel framework is pre-fabricated off site. After delivery to site, tradespeople erect the framework using a range of standard fittings to suit most designs.
- Steel can help you achieve a variety of internal and external finished, as it is a flexible building alternative.
- When steel is being made, it must comply with specific tolerances and Australian Standards.
During the home’s construction, steel framework can be totally hidden in the floor, wall and roof design, or can be visible as a design feature.
The flexibility of steel means your home can have the unique qualities in the design that may be difficult to achieve with other building products.
