PFCs & Universal Beams
A beam where an internal wall comes out of a unit, a transfer beam over a ground-floor shopfront, or new bearers under one of Albion's few remaining timber houses. All are cut at Eagle Farm.

Steel Beams Albion
For Steel Beams Albion, talk to Ace Posts and Beams. Around six in ten Albion homes are rented, and most are units. Structural work here usually has to fit into the weeks between one tenant leaving and the next moving in. We cut PFCs and universal beams to your engineer's schedule and pre-drill them. They arrive ready to install, so the unit is back on the market sooner.

Made to Measure
Steel Beams Albion, timed to the vacancy
For a landlord, every empty week costs rent. That changes how steel should be ordered. Get the engineer's schedule finalised before the tenant leaves and send it to us with the handover date. We'll have the beams cut and drilled for the day demolition finishes, not a week later.
Inside a unit block, the beam also has to travel through a shared lobby, a stairwell or a lift, past neighbours who are still living there. We cut to the exact scheduled length, so nothing gets cut with a grinder in a common corridor. If a member is too long for the stairs, your engineer can detail a splice and we'll drill both halves to match.
Why Builders Choose Us
Steel Beams Albion owners and strata managers can budget for
Investors want a firm figure before they approve works, and strata committees want one before they vote. We price from the drawings, free and with no obligation. The number you take to the owner or the committee is the number you pay for the steel.
Finishes to Suit the Job
Raw steel, prime painted, hot-dipped galvanised and pre-drilled. A rental needs little maintenance between tenancies, so choose galvanised for anything damp or ground-level and primed for steel that will be lined and painted.
Fast 3-Day Supply
Three days from order is typical. Send the schedule before the lease ends, not after, and the steel will be waiting when the unit is empty.
Made-to-Measure
Cut to the schedule and pre-drilled, so the install is quick and quiet, which the residents next door will appreciate. Where access demands it, we split members for a splice.
Expert Advice
We'll explain finishes and delivery in plain terms for owners who aren't builders. Sizes, splices and certification come from your engineer and certifier.
Keen Local Pricing
Trade pricing on every order, whether it's one beam for one unit or matching beams for several units in the same block, quoted together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does your team supply in Albion?
Mostly steel for renovating rentals and strata property. That means beams for opening up unit layouts, transfer beams and lintels in ground-floor shops near the station, and posts and bearers under older timber houses. We supply stock sizes and made-to-measure lengths, plus columns.
Can you provide made-to-measure steel beams?
Yes. Send the engineer's schedule and we cut to it. For unit blocks, tell us the tightest point on the route in, such as a stair landing, lift car or lobby door. Your engineer can then decide whether a long member needs splicing before we cut it.
What types of steel beams do you stock?
Parallel flange channels and universal beams across the residential and light-commercial range, held at Eagle Farm. 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. Parts of Albion fall within Council's Breakfast Creek flood study area, and risk varies by address. Check your property on Council's Flood Awareness Map. Where steel could meet water or ground damp, galvanised is the lower-maintenance choice for a rental.
How quickly can I get my steel beams after ordering?
Three days from order is typical, and galvanising adds time. Give us the date the unit becomes vacant and we'll work to it.
Do you offer delivery as well as pickup?
Both. For unit blocks, tell us about loading-zone times, whether there's a basement or street drop, and who holds the keys. Many Albion blocks have no on-site parking, so the drop-off needs planning. Builders can also collect from Eagle Farm.

About Albion
Albion takes its name from a hotel opened in 1864 near a quarry of pale sandstone, from the Latin albus, meaning white. Brickworks, potteries, sawmills and the 1931 Hudson Road flour mill made it a working suburb along Sandgate Road and the railway. Today about three-quarters of its homes are flats or apartments, and most are rented. Council's Albion neighbourhood plan continues renewal around the station, so old masonry and new units keep sharing the same streets.
