Related Applications
Homes & Houses
Building a residential home requires stable, compliant foundations that can be installed efficiently. Our galvanised steel footing systems offer a clean and adjustable alternative to concrete for new houses, rebuilds and knockdown projects. Designed to suit sloping blocks, reactive soils or urban builds with limited access, these footings reduce construction delays and support long-term structural integrity.
House Extensions
House extensions often face space limitations, tight access, and timelines that don't allow for lengthy concrete curing. Our galvanised steel foundation footings are ideal for adding rooms, levels, or wings to existing buildings without disturbing the original structure. Their modular, concrete-free design means faster installation and minimal impact on site.
Decks
Deck construction, especially in Australian backyards, demands fast installation and flexibility. Traditional concrete footings are messy, weather-dependent, and can delay builds. Our adjustable steel footings provide a stable, clean and hassle-free alternative, ideal for both DIY and professional deck builds.
Patios
Patios require precise, stable footings to ensure they remain level over time. Concrete bases can crack or settle, especially in reactive soils. Our steel footings are adjustable and concrete-free, allowing fast and accurate placement while reducing long-term maintenance issues.
Pergolas
Whether freestanding or attached, pergolas rely on solid footings to resist wind uplift and remain level. Our galvanised steel footing system offers a neat, fast-installing solution that avoids excavation and blends easily into landscaped areas. Ideal for both timber and steel-framed pergolas.
Carports
Carports need reliable structural support, but traditional concrete footings can be costly and slow to install. Our steel foundation footings offer a simple, quick-to-install option that works on driveways, grassed areas, or sloped blocks. With adjustability and no need for curing, projects can be completed faster and with less disruption.
Boundary Fences
Boundary fences must be secure, straight, and long-lasting. Traditional concrete post holes can crack or shift over time. Our steel footings provide a fast and stable solution for fencing on any terrain, with no digging, pouring or curing required.
Pool Fences
Pool fences must meet strict regulations for height, stability and safety. Our galvanised steel footings allow for compliant, straight fence installation around concrete, grass or tiled pool areas – with minimal surface disruption and no concrete mess.
Security Fences
Security fencing for commercial sites, schools, or infrastructure needs robust, tamper-proof foundations. Our galvanised steel footings offer strong, stable support with no concrete curing time – reducing downtime and improving on-site efficiency.
Modular Homes
Modular homes are often delivered and installed on sites where traditional footings are impractical. Our galvanised steel footings provide a fast, customisable solution that supports off-site construction by allowing fast and accurate placement of modules. With no concrete, remote installs are simpler and more cost-effective.
Granny Flats
Granny flats are growing in popularity across Australia, especially in suburban areas where access and time constraints are key concerns. Our steel foundation footings provide an efficient, mess-free alternative to concrete, enabling faster installs on narrow lots or sloped ground. Perfect for prefabricated or custom builds.
Transportable Buildings
Transportable buildings are used widely across Australia in schools, mining, and temporary housing projects. Traditional footings can slow deployment and require heavy site work. Our concrete-free steel footings provide a durable, flexible solution that’s easy to install and remove, making them ideal for temporary or semi-permanent structures.
Tiny Homes
Tiny homes demand flexibility – and so do their footings. Our steel foundation system allows secure installation of tiny homes on a range of surfaces, whether permanent or semi-permanent. The bolt-in, concrete-free design means structures can be relocated, modified or expanded easily.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls must resist lateral soil pressure and remain structurally sound over time. Our adjustable, steel footings offer the strength and corrosion protection needed for wall foundations, without the need for deep trenching or poured concrete.
Ramps
Access ramps for public buildings, schools, or homes require reliable and level foundations. Our steel footing systems provide a concrete-free, height-adjustable solution that complies with accessibility standards and installs with minimal disruption.
Walkways
Walkways, especially those built over uneven ground or in landscaped environments, require stable and adjustable footings. Our steel systems allow precise height adjustments and reduce site disturbance, making them ideal for pedestrian access paths, school walkways, or council infrastructure.
Footbridges
Footbridges need secure, high-load footings that adapt to environmental conditions. Our concrete-free steel footing systems provide a modular and reliable solution for both temporary and permanent pedestrian bridges. Perfect for council upgrades, park crossings, and school infrastructure.
Coastal Boardwalks
Coastal boardwalks require durable, environmentally sensitive foundations that won’t disturb dunes, wetlands, or mangroves. Our steel footing systems provide a corrosion-resistant, modular alternative to concrete posts – perfect for council, parks, or tourism projects near water.
Bus Stops
Bus stop infrastructure needs to be installed with minimal disruption to roads and public access. Traditional concrete solutions delay installations due to excavation and curing. Our steel foundation footings offer a fast, modular alternative for securely anchoring shelters, signage, and seats in any location.
Public Shelters
Public shelters in parks, schools, and transport hubs require reliable footing systems that resist weather and wear. Our galvanised steel footings offer a low-maintenance, concrete-free solution for installing shade structures, seating areas, and waiting zones quickly and safely.
