Steel Beams Wilston
For Steel Beams Wilston, talk to Ace Posts and Beams. In Wilston the front of the house is often the part owners want to keep, and the back is where the space is needed. That means steel that ties a new rear structure into old framing and, often, carries a new upper floor. We cut and pre-drill PFCs and universal beams to your engineer's drawings.

Made to Measure
Steel Beams Wilston, cut to join old framing to new
Where the new work meets the retained house, nothing is square. Floors have sagged and walls have moved over decades. Your engineer will detail a connection that copes with that, for example with slotted holes and packing plates. We drill exactly to those details, so the crew isn't enlarging holes with a hand drill in a half-finished joint.
A second storey adds another hurdle: the steel has to be in place before the roof can be lifted off or reworked. Tell us your roofer's date and the hoist or crane plan, and we'll schedule the beams to be on site for that day, not the week before.
Why Builders Choose Us
Steel Beams Wilston builders can plan around a retained front
With the street side staying as it is, the risk moves to the join and the timing. Clear drawings, free pricing before you commit and steel that matches the schedule remove two of the unknowns.
Finishes to Suit the Job
We supply raw, primed and galvanised steel, drilled before it leaves. Steel that will be lined inside the extension is normally primed. Anything open to the weather at a rear deck or covered outdoor room is better galvanised.
Fast 3-Day Supply
Typically three days from order. For an upper-storey addition, tell us the roof-off date and we'll count back from it.
Made-to-Measure
Every member is cut and drilled to the engineer's connection details before it leaves, so the join between old and new is a fit-up, not a workshop job on site.
Expert Advice
We can talk through installation order and what to mark on a schedule so members go in the right place. Structural design and approvals are for your engineer and certifier.
Keen Local Pricing
Free quotes from the drawings, with one price for the steel across the extension, whether it's two beams or twenty pieces.
What We Supply
Steel Beams Wilston for rear and upper-level additions
For extensions behind retained fronts and new levels above older houses, 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
A Wilston package often has one or two long beams over the rear opening, a set of smaller members for the upper floor, and columns to hold them up. Plates, bracing and hole drilling can travel on the same order, and we can fabricate a special connection piece if the join needs one.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does your team supply in Wilston?
Mostly steel for renovating and extending older family houses: beams over wide rear openings, framing for second-storey additions, and posts and columns to carry them down. We supply stock sizes and cut-to-measure lengths.
Can you provide made-to-measure steel beams?
Yes. We cut and drill to your engineer's schedule, including the connection details where new steel meets old framing. Mark each member by position on the schedule and we'll label it the same way.
What types of steel beams do you stock?
Parallel flange channels and universal beams, plus steel and rolled hollow section columns. Anything not on our shelves, we make to measure.
What finishes or preparation options are available?
You can specify raw, prime painted or galvanised steel, with pre-drilling. Inside the extension, primed steel gets lined and painted. On a rear deck, pergola or covered outdoor area, galvanised holds up better. Your engineer confirms each member.
How quickly can I get my steel beams after ordering?
Typically three days, though galvanised steel needs extra time. For a second-storey job, the date that matters is roof-off. Give us that and we'll plan the steel to arrive in time.
Do you offer delivery as well as pickup?
Both. Wilston's streets are mostly residential, with driveways of all widths, so tell us where the truck can stop and how far the steel has to be carried. You're welcome to collect from the Eagle Farm branch.

About Wilston
Wilston is a compact inner-north suburb of older timber houses, set around its village shops and the Kedron Brook corridor. Its character streets suit families who want to stay close to the city, which is why so many renovations here keep the traditional front and rework everything behind it.
