Steel for Sandgate
Sandgate is one of Brisbane's older seaside settlements, about 18 km north of the CBD on Bramble Bay alongside Shorncliffe, Brighton and Deagon. The housing stock reflects that age: timber cottages and Queenslanders on stumps, many of them now being renovated, raised or restumped rather than replaced.
Two things shape the steel that goes into them, and they pull in the same direction. The first is the age of what is already standing — a lot of our bayside work is the kind you never see once it is finished, because it is posts and bearers for restumping, subfloor members, and framing for ground levels being rebuilt. The second is the salt in the air.
Every order is read against your drawings and cut to spec, so what arrives on site fits the first time — no rework, no waiting on a second delivery. On a bayside job we will also check the finish against your engineer's notes before we cut, because near the water the difference between prime paint and hot-dipped galvanised is the difference between a beam you forget about and one you revisit in a few years.
The bayside run out through Nudgee Road puts us about twenty minutes from a Sandgate site, and you can collect from Eagle Farm instead if that suits the job better.
