01

What Are Steel Frame Kits?

Steel Frame Kits a.k.a “container frames” are the structural steel skeleton of a container, designed to support load-bearing walls, doors, insulation, and custom layouts.

They’re perfect for:

  • Granny flats
  • Site offices
  • Workshops
  • Retail pods
  • Storage spaces

Furthermore, they allow flexibility in design and layout, especially when modifying or extending traditional containers.

Benefits of SCS AU Frame Kits

  • Australian-standard certified steel frames – Our frames are engineered to meet Australian safety and building codes. You get strength, durability, and compliance in every structure.

  • Modular construction support – Easily integrate our frames into modular building systems. Perfect for fast assembly and flexible container-based construction.

  • Expert design advice and CAD modelling – Our in-house team provides 3D CAD plans to visualise your frame before production. This ensures accuracy and design confidence.

  • Corrosion-resistant coating options – We offer protective coatings that extend frame life in harsh Australian climates. Ideal for coastal, industrial, or remote areas.

  • Wind ratings and load-bearing compliance – Our frames are built to handle regional wind zones and heavy loads. In addition, engineering is certified to ensure on-site safety.

  • Quality checked before dispatch – Every frame undergoes thorough inspection for strength, alignment, and finish. Moreover, they’re shipped ready for immediate assembly.

03

Common Uses Across Australia

Our frames are ideal for:

  • Tiny homes and granny flats (combine with insulation & cladding)
  • Mobile site offices (quick to install and dismantle)
  • Workshops and sheds in rural locations
  • Container café or pop-up retail pods

For example, builders often start with just the frame to customise openings and access points. This ensures flexibility for large glass doors, windows, or HVAC systems.

Therefore, starting with a frame gives more control than modifying a standard box.

04

Custom Options and Fast Turnaround

We offer:

  • Flatpack shipping for easy delivery
  • Pre-cut frame panels
  • Door and window cutouts
  • Standard or custom dimensions (6ft to 40ft)
