How It Works — From Sketch to Steel Frame Kit

No formal plans needed to begin. Upload your sketch, inspiration images, or written description and we will guide the design, engineering, and permit coordination process from there.

Our 4-Step Process

From concept to construction-ready — our proven methodology eliminates surprises and keeps your project moving

🧑‍🎨 Design

1-2 weeks

We take your ideas — even if they're just sketches or concepts — and turn them into buildable, efficient plans tailored to your goals and site conditions.

⚙️ Engineering

2-3 weeks

Our structural engineers certify the frame design, ensuring it meets building code requirements and is ready for construction.

📄 Approvals

3-6 weeks

We coordinate the approval pathway, identify the surveys and reports needed, and prepare the lodgement package while you engage and pay third-party providers directly.

🏭 Production

2-4 weeks

Once approved, your steel frame is manufactured to spec at the factory — ready for delivery and installation on site.
