Retail buildings that open on schedule
Steel frames for provincial malls, community centres, supermarkets and hardware depots – open floors for tenants, fast erection and roofs ready for plant and solar.
- 12–30 m
- Typical column grids set by the tenant mix
- Solar-ready
- Roofs and purlins
- RA 9514
- Fire-rated members
The tenant plan comes first
A shopping centre earns from its leasable area and its opening date. We set the column grid with your leasing plan – anchor tenant, supermarket, cinema, food court – and design the frame so slab, services and fit-out can follow the steel closely.
Long-span supermarket and hardware roofs, entrance canopies, atriums and skylights are all part of one steel package, with fire protection scheduled member by member.

Roof space that earns
Malls use a lot of electricity. We design roofs and car park canopies for solar panels from the start, and roof plant platforms for chillers and cooling towers.
