For Steel Beams Geebung, talk to Ace Posts and Beams. Many Geebung homes are low-set brick houses with a floor plan of small rooms. Owners want open kitchen and living space, which usually means taking out a wall and putting a steel beam in its place. We cut and pre-drill PFCs and universal beams to your engineer's schedule, ready to lift into position.
The work is quick when it's planned. Props go in, the wall comes out, the beam goes in and the load is picked up. The steel needs to be at the house before the wall is touched. Tell us the opening width and the engineer's beam size and we'll cut it to length, with bearing plates and any bolt holes drilled.
First, your engineer has to confirm what the wall actually does. Some internal walls carry roof load and some don't, and the answer changes the steel. Once the design is set, we take care of the cutting so your crew installs on the day, not fabricates.
A wall removal is a small structural job with a big effect on the house. Owners want to know the cost of the beam early, and builders want it on time. We quote free from the drawing and confirm the date.

Beams come raw, primed or hot-dipped galvanised, drilled to order. A beam hidden in a ceiling and painted over is normally primed. If it sits in a roof space or an exposed position, ask about galvanised.
Typically three days from order. Settle the wall-out day with your builder first, then we'll work back from it.
Length, bearing plates and bolt holes are done to the schedule before the beam leaves, which keeps the time between props-in and props-out short.
We'll walk you through beam finishes and what to put on the order. Whether a wall is load-bearing, and what beam replaces it, is for your engineer.
Free quotes on single beams as much as on big projects. One beam for one wall is a normal order for us.
For opening up low-set brick homes, our stock lines and options span:
The usual Geebung order is one or two beams, with base plates and posts if the design calls for them. Rolled hollow section columns are handy where a post has to be slim within a wall line. We can add hole drilling and steel plates to the same order.
Mostly beams for opening up existing houses: replacing internal walls, widening doorways between rooms and supporting changes to a roof structure. We also supply the posts and columns that carry the new beam's load down.
Yes. Send the engineer's beam size and the opening width. We'll cut to length and drill bearing plates and bolt holes as specified.
Parallel flange channels and universal beams in residential sizes, and steel and rolled hollow section columns. If the size you need isn't stocked, we cut it to order.
You can order raw, primed or galvanised steel, with pre-drilling. Primed is the usual finish for a beam hidden in a ceiling. Steel in a roof space, which can run hot and damp, can be galvanised. Your engineer decides.
Typically three days, and galvanising adds time. Wall-out day is the date that matters, so give it to us up front.
Both. Most Geebung houses are easy to reach, but tell us about the driveway, any carport in the way and how far the beam must be carried into the house. Pickup at Eagle Farm suits a single beam.
Geebung is a northern suburb on Sandgate Road, within reach of our Eagle Farm branch for scheduled delivery. Suburbs we regularly supply include:
Geebung takes its name from the geebung, a native shrub. It is a northern suburb on Sandgate Road, with many houses dating from the post-war decades onwards, mostly low-set brick and timber on suburban blocks. Those homes are now being reworked for the way families live today, most often by knocking walls out and letting in the light.
Send the engineer's beam size, the opening width, the finish and the day the wall is due to come out. We'll quote the beam and confirm supply. Request your free Steel Beams Geebung quote today.
