In our first In the Frame newsletter for 2024, we are excited to announce our latest innovation – X-CALIBRTM, an all-new roll-formed structural system promising significant benefits over traditional structural steel.
We shine a spotlight on Brandon Ionata’s insights from STEEL HORIZONS | BOSTON, follow Amr Raafat to the Netherlands to explore the future of affordable housing with Finish Profiles, plus we profile Queensland Steel House Frames as they celebrate their 10th anniversary.
X-CALIBRTM – The new secret weapon in structural steel construction
In its latest innovation, Howick has joined forces with sister NZ company Central Steel Framing (CSF) to evolve its roll-forming technology, creating an all-new roll-formed structural system, branded X-CALIBRTM.
Equal in strength to hot-rolled structural steel, the X-CALIBRTM roll-formed system offers significant savings in time, labour and in base material costs over traditional structural steel construction.
Brandon Ionata explores where design meets fabrication
If you want to understand how software like Revit can be used to bridge the gap between construction design and fabrication, Brandon Ionata is one of the best people in the world to ask.
In his presentation at Howick's thought leadership event STEEL HORIZONS | BOSTON, Brandon challenges us to rethink our assumptions about BIM as a design tool only.
Amr Raafat’s world tour takes him to the Netherlands to meet with Dennis Eikenboom from Finish Profiles Group - a pioneer in prefabrication with a holistic approach to building a better future.
Amr and Dennis discuss how prefabrication methods can ensure quality affordable housing and how the process should be a collaboration between humans and smart machines.
When Queensland Steel House Frames ordered two Howick machines in 2013, it kicked off an enduring partnership. Today the business operates 10 Howick machines out of two factories and continues to grow.
Here we profile Queensland Steel House Frames strategy, their partnership with Howick and the advantages of building with steel in tropical environments.
Howick’s event calendar for 2024 is as busy as ever. Talk to us about your light steel framing needs and how our technology can help you at these upcoming tradeshows:
