Good for: Buyers who want to see frames made locally in SE Queensland

Frame Steel is a family-run maker of steel-frame kit homes and granny flats based at Yatala, between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. It rolls its wall frames and roof trusses in its own Yatala factory and supplies them preassembled and ready to stand, with plans, engineering drawings and phone support for owner builders. The range runs from a 24.75 m² studio pod to five-bedroom homes, and each design page lists a kit price plus separate prices for a galvanised steel floor system and an internal lining kit. Window, door and internal wall positions can be moved at no charge. The company supplies kits only and does not build; buyers engage their own certifier and builder or build as an owner builder. It says it has delivered kits Australia wide since 2013, offers a price match on identical written quotes, and keeps a display at its Warehouse Circuit site that is open Tuesday to Saturday.

Researched 15 Oct 2026 from Frame Steel's own site and the public registers.

Who they are

Frame Steel is a family-run steel kit home and granny flat supplier at Yatala, between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, trading since 2013. It rolls its own wall frames and roof trusses and has a display open Tuesday to Saturday. It sells kits only and says it does not build or recommend builders.

What they make

About 34 designs, from the 24.75 m² Mini Studio Pod to five-bedroom kit homes, plus custom kits. Frames and trusses are 70 mm steel, preassembled. Standard cladding is corrugated iron, with HardiePlank as an option, and kits are N2 wind rated with N3 upgrades available.

What the price covers

Kit prices run from $21,440 for the Mini Studio Pod to $137,505 for the Beach House Series 192, for SE QLD supply. The steel floor system and lining kit are extra, for example $5,370 and $6,780 on the Mini Studio Pod. Delivery, engineering certificate, approvals and all labour are on top.

Installing one in Queensland

The buyer builds it as an owner-builder with a QBCC owner-builder permit, or hires their own licensed builder. Kits arrive in several deliveries by truck, with no crane needed for a placed home. You lodge the plans, engineering, soil test and energy report with a private certifier, and licensed trades do the plumbing and electrical.

Who it suits

Owner-builders in SE Queensland who want a steel-framed granny flat or house at kit prices and can run the build.

Worth checking

No warranty or Class 1a statement is published, and the $5,000 deposit is non-refundable, so get the kit inclusions and warranty in writing first.
