Steel Beams Hamilton
For Steel Beams Hamilton, talk to Ace Posts and Beams. Hamilton's grand homes and Northshore's riverfront sites need very different steel. In a character home, the beam has to disappear inside ornate ceilings and finished walls. On a new riverfront build, it comes as a scheduled package. We cut PFCs and universal beams for both, just along Kingsford-Smith Drive at Eagle Farm.

Made to Measure
Steel Beams Hamilton, hidden where the character is
In a prestige character home, the brief is usually to open up the plan without anyone noticing the steel. That often means a beam set within the ceiling depth, or a flitch behind a decorative cornice, with every size set by the architect and engineer. We cut to the millimetre on the schedule and pre-drill on the ground. That avoids drilling overhead next to plaster ceilings and joinery that can't easily be replaced.
Northshore is the opposite: larger structures, repeated members and a program to hit. Send the full schedule and we'll price it as one package, labelled and delivered in the stages your builder sets.
Why Builders Choose Us
Steel Beams Hamilton architects and builders specify with confidence
Hamilton clients expect exact work. Architects want the section they drew, cut to the length they detailed and finished as specified. We supply to the drawing and raise any query before we cut, never after.
Finishes to Suit the Job
Raw steel, prime painted, hot-dipped galvanised and pre-drilled. Concealed beams in character homes are usually primed. Exposed steel on riverfront sites and pool pavilions goes galvanised.
Fast 3-Day Supply
Three days from order is typical. Northshore packages can be priced in full and released stage by stage against the program.
Made-to-Measure
Cut to the architect's and engineer's exact dimensions and pre-drilled, so installing steel inside a finished heritage interior is a fitting job, not a fabrication job.
Expert Advice
We'll talk through finishes, handling and delivery for sensitive interiors. Design and heritage approvals stay with your architect, engineer and certifier.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does your team supply in Hamilton?
Two kinds of work. The first is concealed and feature steel for renovating Hamilton's character and prestige homes. The second is scheduled beam and column packages for builders in the Northshore Hamilton Priority Development Area. Both come in stock sizes and made-to-measure lengths.
Can you provide made-to-measure steel beams?
Yes. We cut to the architect's and engineer's exact dimensions and pre-drill to their detail. On a heritage interior, that means members arrive ready to fix, with no cutting or drilling near finished plaster and joinery.
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. Primed suits beams hidden in ceilings and walls. Galvanised suits exposed riverfront steel, under-floor positions and pool areas. Your engineer confirms which applies to each member.
How quickly can I get my steel beams after ordering?
Three days from order is typical, and galvanising adds time. On a heritage renovation, order once approvals are in. Some changes to houses built in or before 1946 need Council planning approval, and steel ordered from unapproved plans may not match what the certifier inspects.
Do you offer delivery as well as pickup?
Both. For character homes, tell us about the driveway, gates and any garden or paving the steel mustn't damage. Northshore sites usually need a delivery booking and a site contact. We're a short drive along Kingsford-Smith Drive either way.

About Hamilton
Hamilton takes its name from the Hamilton Hotel, established in 1865. Racecourse Road still runs from the river up to the racecourse. The Ascot and Hamilton Heritage Trail includes grand homes such as Windermere (around 1886), and Chateau Nous (1938). Its riverfront was a working port: Bretts Wharf opened in 1928 and received unassembled US aircraft in World War II. Since 2008, the 304-hectare Northshore Hamilton Priority Development Area has been turning that river frontage into a mixed-use precinct.
