Why Australian Steel Buildings Are Built to Last

When choosing a steel construction service, it’s important to choose one that prioritizes quality and longevity. By using Australian-made steel, you can be sure your building will last for the long haul and look better for much longer than a non-Australian alternative.

From the 1840s to the 1980s, steel manufacturing in Australia flourished. With railways and industry expanding across the country, demand for steel was high and many manufacturers began to open plants across the nation. However, in the 80s shifting winds began to blow a number of industries towards off-shore manufacturing in China and South East Asia where they could purchase top-quality products for lower prices. This was a massive setback for the steel industry and producers began to revamp the industry to make it more efficient.

This was when COLORBOND steel was introduced. This new galvanized steel was produced using pre-finished material. This reduced the time frame needed to paint the steel and also ensured that all the required metals were matched perfectly.
