Structure
Within structure, several critical components are needed to support robust and reliable construction such as foundations providing essential support and stability for buildings, laying the groundwork for structural integrity. Concrete in situ and systems offer versatile and durable solutions for forming various structural elements on-site. Masonry products deliver both strength and aesthetic appeal, ideal for constructing walls and other features, as well as, steel components designed for high load-bearing capacity and resilience in large-scale and industrial applications. Additionally, earth-related products ensure effective soil management and reinforcement.
Masonry
Masonry construction uses bricks, blocks and stones, bound together with mortar to create long-lasting, load-bearing structures. Contemporary masonry systems combine traditional robustness with improved thermal, acoustic and environmental performance through optimised mixes, lighter autoclaved aerated concrete and bio-based or recycled content. These solutions support durable, low-maintenance walls and envelopes for residential, commercial and infrastructure projects while contributing to lower operational energy use.
Earth
Earthen construction uses clay, sand, fibres and other bio-based materials to create high-performance building envelopes with low embodied carbon. From rammed earth and straw wall panels to clay and lime plasters, these systems provide thermal mass, humidity buffering and a calm, non-toxic interior character. Contemporary earth-based products combine traditional craft with certified performance, supporting regenerative design outcomes in residential, commercial and cultural projects.
Steel
Steel underpins many structural and infrastructure systems, offering high strength, design flexibility and reliable performance. Emerging “green steel” routes, higher recycled content and transparent environmental declarations are helping to lower embodied carbon in key products such as rebar, plate, beams and light-gauge framing. When combined with efficient design and adaptable building systems, steel can contribute to durable, demountable structures with improved whole-of-life outcomes.
