💰 Know Your Costs Earlier.

Through ATT Structural Steel Solutions, structural steel can be priced alongside your timber roof, frame, and floor package directly from the plans. This gives builders greater visibility and cost certainty before construction begins.

More accurate budgeting. Fewer surprises. Better project outcomes.

This great video from FRD Homes highlights how ATT's prefabricated frame and truss systems help make the construction process faster, simpler, and more efficient for builders.

With frames clearly labelled, components numbered, and everything manufactured to precise specifications, builders can spend less time sorting through materials and more time getting homes built.

✅ Faster installation
✅ Improved site efficiency
✅ Reduced waste
✅ Less time spent on site

We're proud to work alongside the team at FRD Homes, and it's great to see them showcasing the benefits of quality planning and prefabrication in action. Relationships like these are built on a shared commitment to quality, reliability, and getting homes built efficiently. 🏡🪵🏗️

Be sure to check out FRD Homes and see the processes for yourself. 👏🏡

It’s time to replace old perceptions with the facts.

Timber Framing is Proven in Termite-Prone Areas.

It's Week 6 of Let's Put Timber Back in the Conversation.

Think termites mean you should choose steel over timber? The NCC tells a different story.

For termite risk management, appropriately preservative-treated timber and steel are both recognised as materials not subject to termite attack. That means treated timber framing is a recognised solution for building in termite-prone areas, backed by established building requirements and proven products.

It’s time to replace old perceptions with the facts.

With proven timber treatments, established building standards and effective termite management systems, timber framing is a proven solution for Australia's termite-prone regions.

🏗️ One Team. One Point of Contact.

Managing multiple suppliers across a project can create unnecessary complexity. From timber framing, floor systems and roof trusses through to structural steel, coordinating different businesses often means more emails, more phone calls, and more opportunities for delays.

Through ATT Structural Steel Solutions, MetroSteel, and ALSD we work together to provide a coordinated solution with one point of contact for builders.

Less chasing suppliers. Better communication. Complete peace of mind.

🤝🪵 Great catching up with the team from Hyne Timber over lunch recently.

For more than 30 years, they've been supplying the timber that helps us manufacture frames, floor systems, and roof trusses for builders across South East Queensland. It's partnerships like these that remind us how important strong relationships are in our industry.

Based in Maryborough, Queensland, they are recognised as one of the world's most efficient plantation timber manufacturers, helping supply quality Australian-grown timber for homes and communities across our region. From forest to frame, it's a local, renewable resource that supports Australian jobs, regional communities, and sustainable building practices. 🇦🇺🌱

We're also excited for our upcoming mill tour, where we'll get to see firsthand the journey our timber takes before arriving at ATT and eventually becoming part of homes across the region.

Thanks again to the team at Hyne Timber for the hospitality and support over the years. Here's to continuing a great partnership well into the future. 🍻🪵

🪵🌡️ Timber Supports Thermal Performance

Unlike materials that readily transfer heat and cold, timber is a natural insulator, helping homes stay comfortable year-round and reducing the need for excessive heating and cooling.

A smarter choice for energy efficiency, comfort, and long-term performance.

It’s Week 5 – Let’s Put Timber Back in the Conversation!

🌲 Timber Supports Thermal Performance

Good thermal performance begins with material choice.

Timber's natural insulating properties help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, reducing the need for heating and cooling. That means lower energy use over the life of the building - good for occupants, and good for the planet.

For the frame and truss sector, this is more than a talking point - it's a specification advantage. Timber-framed homes benefit from timber's low thermal conductivity compared to alternatives.
For manufacturers, this translates into a genuine value proposition when working with builders and designers: specifying timber frame and truss systems isn't just a structural decision, it's an energy-performance one - helping homes meet increasingly stringent thermal performance requirements under the National Construction Code. By maintaining consistent thermal efficiency across the life of the home, timber framed construction supports lower environmental impact (less emissions and demands of power to heat and cool the property throughout its life), while keeping homes more comfortable and affordable to heat and cool for the homeowner.

Together with WoodSolutions we're helping industry talk about timber with confidence.

After more than 40 years with ATT, it's time to say farewell to a true ATT legend, Steve "Robbo" Robbins.

Robbo's journey began with Coastal Valley Timbers in 1977 before joining Tom's Trusses in 1982. Starting in the yard loading trucks, pulling orders, and making deliveries, he eventually moved into sales, where he spent the rest of his career building relationships and supporting builders across South East Queensland.

Over the years, Robbo has seen the Gold Coast transform, watched the industry evolve, and played a part in helping ATT grow into the business it is today. From paper plans and public phone boxes to the digital world we work in now, he's seen it all.

When asked about his favourite memories, it wasn't projects or milestones that came to mind first. It was the people, the friendships built over the years, the customers, the laughs, and of course, the ATT golf days. ⛳

Robbo's loyalty, knowledge, and genuine care for both customers and colleagues have left a lasting mark on ATT, and he will be missed by everyone who has had the pleasure of working alongside him.

Thank you Robbo, for over four decades of dedication, friendship, and service. We wish you all the very best for this next chapter. Enjoy the slower pace, the warm weather, and everything Bali has to offer. You've certainly earned it. 🌴🍻

Week 4 - Let's Put Timber Back in the Conversation.

Timber-framed homes aren't just built for today, they're built for generations.

Timber is Built to Last 🏠♻️

Week 4 - Let's Put Timber Back in the Conversation.

Timber is Built to Last 🏡

Performance is measured over the life of a building. When properly designed, built and maintained, timber-framed buildings can achieve a service life of at least 50 years, continuing to perform for generations.

For frame and truss manufacturers, that long-term performance starts well before a frame arrives on site. Precision design, engineering and manufacturing all contribute to structural timber systems that are made to perform reliably throughout the life of a building.

Australia's frame and truss sector combines timber's proven performance with increasingly sophisticated manufacturing technology and expertise. It means the homes we're framing today aren't simply about meeting Australia's immediate housing needs - they're about creating quality, enduring homes that can serve Australian families and communities for generations.

This is Week 4 of 14 – Let's Put Timber Back in the Conversation, helping our industry share a consistent message about why timber remains such an important building material for Australia's future.
