Steel Beams Bulimba
For Steel Beams Bulimba, talk to Ace Posts and Beams. Bulimba's Oxford Street is known for cafés, restaurants and boutiques, and much of the building work here is about opening a premises to the street: wider frontages, bi-fold windows and alfresco areas. Behind each opening is a beam. We cut and pre-drill PFCs and universal beams to your engineer's drawings and deliver across the river from Eagle Farm.

Made to Measure
Steel Beams Bulimba, cut for openings that face the street
A hospitality tenant wants trading days back. The wall opening, the transfer beam and the temporary props all have to fit inside a short shutdown. Steel that arrives cut, drilled and labelled lets the crew focus on the lift, not the layout.
Openings for bi-fold doors are wide, and the beam above has to keep its deflection within what the door supplier allows so the doors run freely. Your engineer sets the section; we cut to their length and drill to their detail. If the door supplier's fixing requirements affect hole positions, tell us early.
Why Builders Choose Us
Steel Beams Bulimba hospitality builders can schedule around
Hospitality clients have opening dates that don't move. We price free from the drawings and work to your shutdown dates, so the steel isn't what stands between a tenant and their first customers.
Finishes to Suit the Job
We offer raw, primed and hot-dipped galvanised steel, plus pre-drilling. Primed suits beams that will be lined and painted inside the venue. Galvanised suits external supports, awnings and alfresco frames.
Fast 3-Day Supply
Typically three days from order. Give us the shutdown dates and we'll work back from the day the wall comes out.
Made-to-Measure
Cut and drilled to the schedule, so noisy cutting stays out of a street where the neighbours are trading next door.
Expert Advice
We'll help with delivery timing and finish choice. Design, fire and other requirements, and certification, stay with your engineer and certifier.
Keen Local Pricing
Trade pricing, with matching openings across several tenancies quoted together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does your team supply in Bulimba?
Mostly steel for hospitality and retail alterations: beams over new or widened openings, columns and plates to carry them, and framing for alfresco areas. We also supply steel for Queenslander renovations in the streets behind Oxford Street.
Can you provide made-to-measure steel beams?
Yes. Send the engineer's schedule and any door or window supplier's requirements, and we'll cut and drill to suit. Tell us the shutdown dates so we can plan supply.
What types of steel beams do you stock?
Parallel flange channels and universal beams in light-commercial and residential sizes, plus steel and rolled hollow section columns. Not on our shelves? We supply it made to measure.
What finishes or preparation options are available?
We supply raw, primed and hot-dipped galvanised steel, and pre-drill on request. Inside a venue, primed steel gets lined or painted. External supports benefit from galvanising. If a particular coating or fire treatment is specified, tell us at quote stage.
How quickly can I get my steel beams after ordering?
Typically three days; galvanising takes extra time. For a booked shutdown, we plan around the day the wall comes out.
Do you offer delivery as well as pickup?
Both, and delivery is the norm for Bulimba jobs, as we come from the other side of the river. Tell us about parking restrictions, loading times and any need to deliver before the venue opens. Collection is possible at Eagle Farm, though most Bulimba jobs are delivered.

About Bulimba
Bulimba sits on a bend in the Brisbane River, reached by CityCat as well as by road. Oxford Street is the suburb's main strip, lined with cafés, restaurants and shops, and behind it are streets of older timber houses. Owners and tenants here keep reworking their buildings to face the street, and every wider opening needs a beam.
