Timber is fast becoming the old-fashioned way to build. It allows construction errors to be rectified on site with hammer and nail – easy for the builder but not very reassuring for the homeowner!
Bluescope TRUECORE® steel is at the heart of a unique framing system that uses patented brackets to attach the critical components of your steel frame together, and anchor it to the slab. The roof is anchored to the truss, which is anchored to the frame which is anchored to the slab, offering complete security in all weather conditions.
Each frame manufactured using Bluescope Bluescope TRUECORE® high tensile steel is backed by a 50 year warranty* giving you complete peace of mind.
Unlike other steel and timber framing systems, the engineering we use ensures each component of the frame is unique to your home, manufactured with unparalleled precision and then locked together with patented brackets and connections. There is simply no room for error. Every Format Home is built with the Bluescope TRUECORE® steel at the heart of its frame system. By building with this innovative technology you can be sure your home is safer, stronger and more secure. Made with TrueCore® steel each frame is also backed by a 50-year BlueScope written warranty*.
The steel frames used in Format homes are safer, stronger and more secure than other framing solutions. The framing system, with Bluescope TRUECORE® steel at its heart, possesses a unique strength; it is the only system that attaches each and every component together and bolts them to the slab. The roof is attached to the truss, which is attached to the wall frame, which is attached to the slab. This ensures outstanding wind loading qualities, even in severe storm conditions.
Frames using Bluescope TRUECORE® steel have the potential to save you thousands of dollars in maintenance and chemical termite treatments. Timber frames shrink and expand according to environmental conditions, causing cracks in lining surfaces, peaking of ceiling joints and cracked cornices. By contrast, Bluescope TRUECORE® steel is 100% impermeable to termite damage and is riveted and bolted into place ensuring virtually no movement for the life of the home. With the threat of termite damage in Australia on the rise you need to seriously consider what’s behind the walls of your home! with repair costs not uncommonly in excess of $40,000*.

Frames manufactured from TrueCore® steel, are 100% termite proof. No if, buts or maybes. When it comes to termite resistance in your home there is no safer option than steel framing. Quite simply, termites cannot eat steel frames, so why trust anything else?
