Structural steel boasts many inherent features that make it an excellent construction solution: it is a resilient material with proven performance in harsh conditions such as earthquakes; thanks to its high strength-to-weight ratio it has the ability to span considerable spaces; its light weight means foundations can be less substantial and cheaper; off-site fabrication and ‘just-in-time’ deliveries aid tight construction programmes; it is erected quickly in almost any weather conditions; and it can be easily modified in time to satisfy changing requirements.
 
Importantly, besides being a structurally versatile and adaptable material, New Zealand-fabricated steel offers a quality, precision, low-risk solution.

So if you’re serious about working with structural steel, SCNZ’s website is a great place to start.
