What we offer
Made by Kiwis for Kiwi conditions
Light gauge steel solutions for rural and residential builds
When you build in New Zealand, you need to build for four seasons in one day – 365 days a year.
That is why more agribusinesses, industrial and commercial builders and group home builders are choosing to build with light gauge steel (LGS). Strong, straight, fire-resistant and lightweight, it is ideal for New Zealand conditions.
At Central Steel Framing, we help Kiwi businesses of all kinds get the best out of LGS framing with the right experience, attitude and cutting-edge technology.
Building a New Zealand that stands strong, today and tomorrow
Whether you are a commercial, industrial, shed or group home builder – whatever you are looking to build, we will help you get the job done on-spec, on-time and on-budget.
From large-span buildings, pre-engineered sheds, animal feed pads and shelters to industrial buildings and cabins, we design, manufacture and assemble everything you need here in Taupo, New Zealand, including:
- Roll-formed structural steel systems
- Wall framing and trusses
- Telescopic panels for interior fitouts
- Floor joists and floor cassettes
- Struts and purlins
As part of the Howick Group, we use leading-edge technology and machinery, made here in New Zealand. Combine this with a local team who get onsite and get their boots dirty, and you have a partner who can and will help you deliver the most efficient, profitable and stress-free build possible.
Steel vs Timber: A better way to build
Timber shortages, rising labour costs, sustainability considerations…it all makes switching to light gauge steel framing a smart move. Here are just a few reasons why:
- Better weight-to-strength ratio
- More fire resistant
- Faster construction times
- Easy to move onsite
- Precise and requires less reworking
- Less waste and 100% recyclable
- 100% NZ made and manufactured.
LGS roll-formed framing outperforms traditional construction in almost every meaningful metric. With the benefits of light gauge steel, it is the right call.
Why Light Gauge Steel
Light gauge steel framing is a straight and stable product that delivers an excellent finish. Compared to traditional building methods, light gauge steel provides numerous benefits, including dimensional accuracy, speed of construction and faster completion times, fewer builder call-backs, lower total cost, minimal wastage, a strong and lightweight structure, fire-resistance, durability, and peace of mind.
