The Quickframe steel building system combines highly sophisticated three-dimensional computer technology with a unique framing system that has proven to outweigh the advantages of traditional timber based construction.

MISSION STATEMENT: Our aim is to provide a steel frame system which encompasses all of the requirements of a frame manufacturing company including design software, engineering, machinery, scheduling, stock control, training and costing procedures. We undertake to continue to carry out research and development with the aim of providing to our partners the best possible package for their business.

HISTORY: Initially Quickframe investigated numerous local and international steel frame systems and identified their shortfalls. We found that these systems could not achieve the flexibility of design or cost effectiveness required in the developing steel frame market. The knowledge gained in this process enabled us to develop our new and unique system.

DEVELOPMENT: The reasons for so much development input into building in steel is the recognition of the multiple advantages of steel. Quickframe is continually developing and improving their framing system to confirm our statement that we are the leading steel framing company.

PATENT: Quickframe roof truss members and connections are patented nationally and internationally. The key to the success of the Quickframe roof truss is the patented connection method which guarantees the integrity of the connection between the webs and cords. This relatively simple connector design is stronger than the material making up the truss and coupled with the web/cord profile enables the quicktruss to span up to twelve meters.
