PROJECT: Steel Framing Modular Build For Broadlands Muswellbrook
Project Spotlight: Site 48 – Broadlands Muswellbrook
We’re proud to showcase our latest steel framing project at Broadlands Muswellbrook – a vibrant over 55s lifestyle community located in the heart of the Upper Hunter.
Australian Steel Framing was engaged by Broadworth Modular to design and supply the Bluescope Lysaght 0.75mm gauge 90mm steel wall and roof framing system for the new home at Site 48, known as the “Ironwood” design. This home is a key part of the expanding Broadlands Muswellbrook development, delivering high-quality, low-maintenance housing for the over 55s market.
Precision-Engineered Steel Solutions
Working with Broadworth Modular, we supplied fully engineered Bluescope Lysaght 0.75mm gauge 90mm steel wall and roof truss to suit the modular construction methodology. The project required a combination of strength, accuracy, and compliance with BAL-19 bushfire requirements – a challenge our steel systems are built to meet.
Key inclusions:
90mm wall and roof framing manufactured to precise engineering specs
Fully welded steel floor frame using 250UB and RHS sections
Compliance with BAL-19 bushfire rating
Delivered pre-cut and labelled for seamless on-site installation
Our steel framing provided the structural backbone for the home’s contemporary design, featuring raked ceilings in the living area, tiled alfresco space, and Colorbond Woodland Grey roofing and gutters. The result is a low-maintenance, energy-efficient home that offers both style and resilience.
Supporting Modular Innovation
Broadworth Modular’s innovative off-site building approach aligns perfectly with our commitment to accuracy and speed. Our steel frames are designed to integrate easily into modular transportable builds, streamlining construction without compromising on strength or compliance.
Durable Exterior Finishes
To complement the steel frame structure, the Ironwood design incorporates a robust and stylish selection of external materials that ensure both visual appeal and long-term durability:
Roofing: Colorbond Custom Orb in Woodland Grey
Gutters, Fascia & Downpipes: Colorbond Woodland Grey
Cladding: A mixed palette featuring James Hardie Newport Weatherboards, fibre cement sheet, and vertical battens
Windows & Doors: Aluminium frames finished in Pearl White Gloss
Front Door: Humes Vaucluse XV20 profile with white-on-white Dulux finish
Decking & Porch Areas: Tiled surfaces using Belga Charcoal textured tiles
Eaves & Trims: Colorbond Dune and Dulux White on White for a fresh, clean appearance
These materials were selected to ensure the home remains low-maintenance while withstanding the local climate and aligning with the cohesive Broadlands community aesthetic.
