Franklin Constructions fabricate steel house frames in Beaudesert and build with them — complete home packages, sheds and carports, and commercial projects. Frame only, supply and erect, or the whole build.
What we build
A wide range of steel frame houses built from quality materials — complete residential packages, custom designs, frame only, or supply and erect.
Shed kits, carports, domestic and commercial sheds — designed, engineered and built to site, from a backyard shed up to 27 metres wide and six metres tall.
Commercial buildings of a very high standard — schools and early learning, administration buildings, retail, a monastery and council work across the Scenic Rim.
Family run, Beaudesert
Franklin Constructions has been servicing Beaudesert and its surrounds with residential and commercial construction for more than fifty-five years. The business is now run by brothers Campbell and John Franklin, and a team that has held the same reputation for honesty and reliability the whole time.
We are frame fabricators as well as builders. Our entire range of steel house frames is detailed and manufactured at our own factory, from 1.0 mm and 1.2 mm BlueScope Zincalume steel — which is why we can offer frame-only and flat-pack as readily as a complete home.
Why steel
Zincalume steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material in use today, and the majority of commercial buildings are constructed from steel frames. For good reason.
BlueScope Steel provides a 50-year warranty for TRUECORE® steel used correctly in house frames. Steel framing is the only framing material offered any structural durability warranty at all.
Steel is a termite-resistant material under the Building Code of Australia, and it is non-combustible. No repeat pest sprays, no borer, no dry rot.
Straighter and longer lasting than timber, and unaffected by damp, dry mould or rot. Frames stay true, so cornices and doors stay true with them.
Designs are possible in steel that cannot be done in other materials — longer spans, more open living, larger rooms.
A fully engineered steel frame is structurally sound decades later, and resale values reflect it.
Frames arrive with bracing panels, tie downs, pre-punched service holes and lintels over windows already in them. Compare that to the timber equivalent.
Our work

In their words
“If Lyn and I were to build another house, we would simply go to Franklins and ask them to build it for us.”
“Having never built before we were a little nervous with the whole building experience. We met with Campbell and John and immediately we felt at ease. They helped us with the design of our new home for our young family, then worked with us every step of the way.”
“Both John and Campbell helped us in the design process and their knowledge about steel frames was very clear. My wife and I felt very confident with their professionalism and eye for detail. Thank you for building us our dream home.”
Come and sit down with us at the Beaudesert yard, or send the details through and we will call you back.
