Steel Beams Morningside
For Steel Beams Morningside, talk to Ace Posts and Beams. Many Morningside families are staying put and improving the house they own. Often that means lifting it, replacing old stumps and creating usable space underneath. Our parent company, Ace Restumping, does the lift. We cut the posts and beams it sits on. One family business handles both, so the heights and connections are agreed before the house leaves the ground.

Made to Measure
Steel Beams Morningside, cut to the lift height
Replacing timber stumps with steel means every post, bearer and beam has to match the new floor height on your engineer's drawings. When the lifting crew and the steel supplier are different companies, heights and hole positions can drift between two sets of paperwork. Because Ace Restumping and Ace Posts and Beams work from the same plans, the posts that arrive are the ones the lift was planned around.
Many Morningside houses from the 1920s to the 1960s sit on uneven ground, so posts are rarely all the same length. We cut each post to its scheduled height and pre-drill it for its cap and base plates. Beams are cut to span, so the house can come down onto steel that's already square.
Why Builders Choose Us
Steel Beams Morningside families can live on for decades
Just over half of Morningside homes are owner-occupied. For those owners, the steel under the house is a one-time decision. Ace Restumping is family owned and, by its own account, has raised and restumped Brisbane houses for more than 30 years. That experience shapes how we talk about loads, heights and finishes.
Finishes to Suit the Job
Raw steel, prime painted, hot-dipped galvanised and pre-drilled. Posts and bearers open to the air under a raised house go galvanised. A beam concealed in a new ceiling can be primed.
Fast 3-Day Supply
Three days from order is typical. On a raise, the steel schedule is agreed alongside the lift date, so the posts are ready before the house goes up.
Made-to-Measure
Each post is cut to its own height and each beam to its span, pre-drilled for plates. Nothing is packed or trimmed while the house is on jacks.
Expert Advice
The people who lift houses can help you understand what the steel underneath has to do. Sizing and certification stay with your engineer and certifier.
Keen Local Pricing
Steel, lift and restump can be quoted together. That gives you one figure for the whole job, not three quotes to reconcile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does your team supply in Morningside?
Mostly steel for raising and restumping owner-occupied homes. That covers galvanised posts to replace timber stumps, bearers and beams to carry the lifted house, and beams for garage openings and open-plan living. The lift itself can be handled by our parent company, Ace Restumping.
Can you provide made-to-measure steel beams?
Yes. Every post is cut to the height on the engineer's drawing and every beam to its span, with plates pre-drilled. On a sloping block, list each post separately. We label them by position so they go in the right place.
What types of steel beams do you stock?
Parallel flange channels and universal beams for residential work, plus steel and rolled hollow section columns for posts. Anything outside stock, we supply made-to-measure.
What finishes or preparation options are available?
Raw steel, prime painted, hot-dipped galvanised, and pre-drilling. Galvanised is the usual choice under a house, where air moves freely and water can collect after storms. Prime paint suits a beam that will end up enclosed indoors.
How quickly can I get my steel beams after ordering?
Three days from order is typical, and galvanised steel takes longer. On a combined raise, we set the steel date against the lift date so neither waits on the other.
Do you offer delivery as well as pickup?
Both. For a raise, we deliver to the yard and set down clear of the lifting crew's working area. Tell us about driveway width and any carport in the way. Builders can also collect from Eagle Farm.

About Morningside
Morningside grew around the railway. When the Cleveland line opened in 1889, the station then called Bulimba stood where Morningside is today. The population grew from under 2,000 in 1920 to about 11,000 by the 1960s, and Morningside Central opened in 1969. Separate houses remain the largest dwelling type, and many from the interwar and post-war decades are now being raised or restumped. Owners who plan to stay are rebuilding what's underneath rather than moving.
