Why the future looks strong and lightweight
The changing landscape of Australian construction
The pace of change within the Australian building industry has never been greater. Climate change and the environment are now mainstream issues that are in the media on a daily basis. Legislation governing energy efficiency and OH&S has a greater role to play in the building industry and homebuyers are more educated and aware.
Much of this change is driven by the need to comply with legislation as well as the need to satisfy growing consumer demand. And much of this change is the reason why steel has emerged as the strong and lightweight building material of choice. To gain a competitive edge and grow their business, more builders and trades are educating themselves in the opportunities available by building with steel.
The growth of strong and lightweight building materials
Today, almost one out of every two homes built in Australia features a roof made from COLORBOND® steel. And the public demand for house frames made from TRUECORE® steel has never been higher. To keep pace with growing trends and consumer demand, more and more builders, including some of the country's largest, are offering their homes with roofing made from COLORBOND® steel and framing made from TRUECORE® steel.
Find out why more builders and trades are learning how fast and easy it is to use strong and lightweight steel in the homes they build.
