Steel Beams Nundah
For Steel Beams Nundah, talk to Ace Posts and Beams. Nundah jobs tend to be small and awkward: a worker's cottage on a narrow lot, a deck on the side of the ridge, or a shopfront on Sandgate Road that needs a wider opening. We cut PFCs and universal beams to length, and posts to a separate height for each footing. We drill them all before they leave Eagle Farm, so there's little cutting to do on a small site.

Made to Measure
Steel Beams Nundah, cut for narrow lots and sloping ground
A worker's cottage leaves little room to work. Internal walls often carry the roof, the side setback may be under a metre, and the neighbour's fence is right beside you. Your engineer specifies the beam that lets a wall come out or an extension join the old house. We cut it to the exact span so nothing needs cutting between the fences.
On the ridge, the ground drops away under decks and extensions, so no two posts are the same height. Send a height for each post rather than one standard length. We'll cut each one, fit its plates and label it by grid position, and the beams will sit level on the first lift.
Why Builders Choose Us
Steel Beams Nundah builders can drop off and fit
On a small Nundah site, often only one delivery fits comfortably. That might be a narrow street off Sandgate Road or a clearway outside a shop. So the aim is to get everything right in one drop: beams, posts, lintels and plates, cut, drilled and labelled together from one branch.
Finishes to Suit the Job
Raw steel, prime painted, hot-dipped galvanised and pre-drilled. Deck posts and low steel near Schulz Canal, where flash flooding can occur, go galvanised. Lintels built into masonry or boxed in behind a shopfront usually go prime painted.
Fast 3-Day Supply
Three days from order is typical. For a shopfront refit on a lease deadline, tell us the opening date and we'll confirm the timing before you book the install.
Made-to-Measure
Beams cut to span, posts cut to individual heights for sloping blocks, and lintels drilled for the plates and connections your engineer has detailed.
Expert Advice
We'll help you choose finishes and plan lengths around narrow access and street-front unloading. Load paths, sizes and lintel details come from your engineer.
Keen Local Pricing
Trade-focused pricing, and matching sets for small townhouse builds are quoted together, so each dwelling gets the same parts at the same rate.
What We Supply
Steel Beams Nundah, lintels and stepped-height posts
For cottage extensions, ridge decks and Sandgate Road refits, our stock lines and options span:
- PFC (parallel flange channel)
- Universal beams (UB)
- Raw steel
- Prime painted
- Hot-dipped galvanised
- Pre-drilled
- Stock sizes
- Made-to-measure
Nundah orders often mix jobs. A cottage open-plan beam can go on the same schedule as galvanised deck posts at five different heights. A tenancy fitout might need a lintel for a wider entry and support steel behind a new counter. Steel posts, plates and bracing can go on the same order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does your team supply in Nundah?
We supply three types of job. Worker's cottages get beams for removing walls and joining rear extensions. Decks and extensions on the sloping ridge get posts and beams. Older commercial buildings along Sandgate Road get lintels and beams for widened openings. We supply stock sizes and made-to-measure lengths, plus matching posts and plates.
Can you provide made-to-measure steel beams?
Yes. Beams are cut to the span on your engineer's drawing. On a sloping block, send a height for each post and we'll cut and label them individually, with plates fitted. That saves packing and re-cutting on a site where there's no room for either.
What types of steel beams do you stock?
Parallel flange channels and universal beams across the sizes residential and small commercial work calls for. That covers the typical cottage beam and most shopfront lintels. Anything else, we supply made-to-measure.
What finishes or preparation options are available?
Raw steel, prime painted, hot-dipped galvanised, and pre-drilling. Choose galvanised for outdoor posts, decks, carports and anything low-set near Schulz Canal, and check Council's flood maps for your address. Prime paint suits steel fully enclosed in the house or built into a shopfront wall.
How quickly can I get my steel beams after ordering?
Three days from order is typical. Galvanised posts take longer than a primed lintel, so on a mixed order, tell us which pieces the builder needs first.
Do you offer delivery as well as pickup?
Both. For delivery, tell us about the street: clearways and bus stops on Sandgate Road, narrow driveways and steep side paths on the ridge. We'll plan lengths and unloading to suit. Trades can also collect from Eagle Farm from 6:30 am on weekdays.

About Nundah
Nundah, once called German Station, is on Turrbul country. German missionaries settled there in 1838, making it one of Brisbane's earliest European settlements outside the town. The railway arrived in the 1880s, and workers' cottages filled the streets around the stations and Sandgate Road. Its village sits on a ridge above the George Bridges Tunnel, and Schulz Canal runs through the low ground. Today about 13,100 people live among those cottages and newer apartments and townhouses. That mix of small old homes, steep blocks and busy shopfronts shapes nearly every steel order we send there.
