Exceptional durability and strength

TRUECORE steel frames are built to withstand Australia’s toughest conditions. These frames are designed for exceptional durability, offering superior resistance to cyclones, extreme heat, and heavy rain. Unlike timber, steel frames by TRUECORE won’t warp, crack, or swell, ensuring your home remains structurally sound. The strength of TRUECORE steel makes it the perfect material to resist the wear and tear caused by Australia’s unpredictable climate, so you can be confident your home will stand strong for years to come.

Cost-effective and sustainable choice

The lightweight properties of steel reduce transport and handling costs, making it a more affordable option than traditional framing materials. Plus, TRUECORE steel is fully recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly choice for sustainable living. With minimal maintenance and fewer repairs, TRUECORE steel frames offer long-term savings for homeowners looking to reduce their costs. Also, the lower maintenance requirements may lead to potential insurance benefits due to the reduced risk of fire or termite damage.

Ideal for small home design and flexibility

These frames are not only durable but also highly versatile. They support modern small home designs with thinner, precise walls. This allows you to make the most of every inch of space while still maintaining structural integrity. The adaptability of TRUECORE steel means you can easily modify or expand your home in the future—whether adding a new room or upgrading to incorporate the latest technologies. Steel’s lightness makes installation quicker and easier, reducing labour costs and shortening the construction timeline.

“We took a leap of faith and kicked off our building adventure. And I’m really happy we went for it.

When we first thought about building our home ourselves with Atlas, it felt overwhelming. Our DIY skills were pretty much non-existent, and being a busy working couple didn't make things easier. But after discussing our options, chatting with tradespeople, and getting guidance from the Atlas team, we took a leap of faith and kicked off our building adventure. And I'm really happy we went for it.
