Who We Are
We Offer Roof Trusses That Fit Your Roof Design
Nextgen Steel Frames specialises in steel frames & trusses for projects across Melbourne. Roof trusses are the “top structure” of the building, and they must be designed correctly to handle roof loads, wind uplift, and long-term movement, which is why our trusses are engineered to suit your exact plan.
We manufacture steel roof trusses for townhouses, single and double-storey homes, commercial offices, shops, and modular buildings. Each package includes 3D roof truss layouts, truss profiles, connection details, and engineering certification, ensuring compliance with Australian Standards and making installation clear for your construction team.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Products
What are steel roof trusses, and why are they used?
Steel roof trusses are engineered roof structures made from light gauge steel, designed to support roof coverings and safely transfer loads to the walls. They are used because they provide accurate roof geometry, strong performance, and consistent installation outcomes, especially valuable in townhouse and multi-unit developments.
Do you install steel roof trusses on-site?
Yes. We can provide full on-site roof truss installation across Melbourne and surrounding areas. Our team follows the engineered layout and bracing requirements to ensure safe and accurate installation.
Are steel roof trusses better than timber trusses?
Steel roof trusses are straight, warp-free, and termite-proof, and they don’t shrink or twist like timber. Steel provides long-term stability, which helps maintain roof alignment, reduces callbacks, and supports cleaner roof finishes.
Can steel trusses be designed for wind ratings and Australian conditions?
Yes. Roof trusses can be engineered to suit wind ratings, site exposure, and roof load requirements based on your project location and design. We include bracing and tie-down details as part of the engineering and documentation package.
How long does it take to manufacture steel roof trusses?
Lead times depend on roof complexity, number of trusses, and project size. Standard residential roofs can be produced quickly with steel roof trusses, while multi-unit and complex roof structures may require more detailing time. We confirm the expected turnaround after reviewing your plans.
Are steel roof trusses labelled for easier installation?
Yes. Our truss packs are supplied with clear labelling and supporting documentation, helping installers identify each truss and position it correctly for faster installation.
Do you supply roof trusses for townhouses and multi-unit developments?
Yes. Steel frame trusses are ideal for townhouses and multi-unit builds due to consistent accuracy, repeatability across multiple roofs, and reliable performance. We can support staged delivery and installation planning for larger projects.
Do you supply steel roof trusses for commercial buildings?
Yes. We supply commercial steel roof trusses for offices, shops, industrial builds, and modular projects, tailored to roof spans and structural requirements with engineering documentation included when required.
Do you supply industrial steel roof trusses in Melbourne?
Yes. Nextgen Steel Frames designs and supplies industrial steel roof trusses for warehouses, factories, workshops, and large commercial buildings across Melbourne. Our trusses are engineered to suit long spans, roof loads, and site conditions, and can be customised for skylights, ventilation, and service requirements.
