	Balance Steelframe and Technosteel Australia have joined forces. We manufacture steel house frames , roof trusses and floor systems mainly for the Ownerbuilder. We are flexible and enjoy the challenge to help you find the best and most cost-effective way to make it easy to build your design. We specialise in servicing the OWNER BUILDER. It is all about different houses for different people! Our engineering expertise means we can help you push the design boundaries. Our innovative design has been used effectively in the construction of house frames, commercial buildings, studios, roof joists (parallel, tapered or curved), suspended floor systems, strawbale or stone homes and heritage restorations. A light weight steel frame is quick and easy for owner builders and allows architects greater flexibility with increased creativity. Unlike timber it is not "termite caviar"! We believe in sustainable "green building" and embrace the philosophy of touching the earth lightly. Light weight steel is the smart way to be green and the smart way to save thousands on your project.
