Steel Beams Newstead
For Steel Beams Newstead, talk to Ace Posts and Beams. Newstead's old wool stores and warehouses were built for bales and machinery, not apartments and offices. Converting them usually means cutting new openings through old walls and adding floors inside tall shells. We cut and pre-drill PFCs, universal beams and columns to your engineer's drawings. Everything is labelled for the install sequence and delivered to sites with no room to store it.

Made to Measure
Steel Beams Newstead, fitted to buildings nobody drew for this
In a conversion, the existing building rarely matches the drawings. Walls lean, openings sit out of square, and bearing points are wherever the old engineer put them a century ago. Your engineer surveys what's actually there and details new steel to suit. We cut to that detail, not to a standard size, and pre-drill connections into the existing structure where the design calls for it.
Inner-city sites have no room to store steel. Tell us the order you'll lift members in and the crane or loading-zone booking. We'll label each piece and release the package in stages, so nothing sits on a footpath waiting to be used.
Why Builders Choose Us
Steel Beams Newstead site managers can sequence
On a Newstead conversion, the expensive things are crane hours, traffic control and certifier inspections. We aim to make the steel the one part of the program that turns up when booked, cut and drilled to the approved drawings.
Finishes to Suit the Job
Raw steel, prime painted, hot-dipped galvanised and pre-drilled. Primed for steel that will be exposed as a feature or lined inside. Galvanised for anything outside or near the river's damp.
Fast 3-Day Supply
Three days from order is typical. On a staged package, we price the whole schedule up front and release each stage against your crane dates.
Made-to-Measure
Cut to your engineer's as-surveyed dimensions and drilled for connections to the existing structure. Less time working at height to make old and new fit.
Expert Advice
We'll work through delivery sequencing, labelling and finishes with your site team. Assessing the existing building and designing the new steel is for your engineer.
Keen Local Pricing
A whole conversion package, with beams, columns, plates and bracing, can be quoted as one job so developers can test it against the feasibility budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does your team supply in Newstead?
Mostly steel for converting and refitting older buildings. That means beams over new openings in brick walls, frames for floors inserted into tall warehouse shells, and columns, plates and bracing to carry them. We also supply tenancy fit-outs within converted buildings.
Can you provide made-to-measure steel beams?
Yes. We cut to your engineer's as-surveyed dimensions and drill connections to their detail. For staged work, send the lift sequence and we'll label and release members in that order.
What types of steel beams do you stock?
Parallel flange channels and universal beams, plus steel and rolled hollow section columns. 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. Many conversions leave steel exposed as part of the industrial look, so tell us if members will be feature steel and your painter will want a clean primer. If a coating standard such as AS/NZS 4680 for galvanising is specified, list it at quote stage.
How quickly can I get my steel beams after ordering?
Three days from order is typical per stage. Galvanised members take longer. Give us your crane and loading-zone bookings so we can work to them.
Do you offer delivery as well as pickup?
Both, though Newstead jobs are nearly always delivered. Tell us about the loading-zone hours, any traffic management, the site contact and whether the crane will lift straight off the truck. We'll load in lift order.

About Newstead
Newstead takes its name from Newstead House, built in 1845–46 and now Queensland's oldest surviving residence. From the 1880s the riverbank filled with industry, including the 1887 gasworks, whose gasometer frame still stands. Dalgety's wool store and Newstead Wharf followed. The last cargo ship docked in 1969, and the corridor turned to housing, starting with Mirvac's Riverpark from 2001. Today almost every home is an apartment. Council's Newstead and Teneriffe waterfront plan includes a heritage sub-precinct, so conversions there may face extra requirements.
