Townhouse and multi-unit framing
Townhouse steel frames for Melbourne and Victoria
FrameSet supplies light-gauge steel wall panels, floor systems and roof trusses for townhouse developments, with structural steel and installation quoted together where required. We coordinate the package around the drawings and the sequence of your site.
How do you coordinate frames across multiple dwellings?
A multi-unit site needs a clear relationship between dwelling numbers, panel labels, steel members and delivery packs. We review the architectural and structural sets together, clarify the scope for each dwelling and agree the drawing sign-off and delivery sequence before production.
Tell us whether the dwellings are built together or in stages. Shared access, scaffold, crane positions and limited laydown space can affect how the frames are packed and delivered.
What can the townhouse framing package include?
- Light-gauge steel wall panels, including the specified bracing and opening details.
- Floor joists or trusses, roof trusses and the agreed battens or purlin layouts.
- Coordinated structural beams, columns, lintels and connection details.
- Panel layouts, shop drawings and project-specific engineering coordination.
- Delivery and installation, with lifting and site extras itemised where included.
Which interfaces need attention?
Garage openings, balconies, stairs, large glazing, service penetrations and separating-wall junctions should be resolved on the coordinated drawings. The project designers specify the relevant fire, acoustic, structural and energy details; the frame package needs to fit those details.

Our Doncaster East project shows LGS framing and structural steel for three double-storey dwellings. The case study explains the recorded scope and includes site photography.
What should I send for a quote?
Send the architectural set, structural drawings, window and door schedule, dwelling count, site suburb and target start date. Include the staging plan if it is already agreed. See the complete quote checklist.
Based in Mitcham, we quote projects throughout metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria. Dates and regional logistics are confirmed for each job.
Questions builders ask
Your questions answered
Can each townhouse be delivered separately?
Delivery packs and stages can be planned around the site programme. We confirm dwelling labels, pack sizes, access and delivery charges in the project scope before production.
Can you include the structural steel for a townhouse development?
Yes. Send the structural set with the architectural drawings so beams, columns and frame interfaces can be assessed together. The quote identifies the structural steel and installation inclusions.
Do you supply townhouse frames outside Melbourne?
We quote regional Victorian projects as well as Melbourne sites. Transport distance, access and installation availability are assessed for the specific site.
