In the heart of the agricultural sector, Central Steel Build has been a pioneering force in agricultural structures, revolutionising how farmers and producers approach building solutions.
With a steadfast commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction, Central Steel Build has solidified its reputation as a leader in the industry.
Founded in 1975, on principles of reliability, integrity, and durability, Central Steel Build has been at the forefront of designing and constructing agricultural buildings that stand the test of time. Their structures are renowned for their robustness, flexibility, and ability to cater to diverse agricultural needs, ranging from intensive animal husbandry housing to storage facilities and everything in between.
What sets Central Steel Build apart is their dedication to innovation and customisation. They understand that every farm and agricultural operation is unique, requiring tailored solutions to optimise productivity and efficiency. From yard covers and machinery sheds to shearing sheds and hay storage, from horticulture sheds and dairy barns to bulk storage and feedlots, their designs are meticulously crafted to meet the specific requirements of their clients, ensuring optimal functionality and longevity.
Their site-specific engineered structures use 100% quality Aussie steel and are hot dip galvanised to provide an unparalleled level of corrosion resistance at a cost-effective rate, protecting against a wide range of corrosive factors, such as harsh weather conditions and damage by animals and machinery. Every fabricated steel member is galvanised, including recesses, sharp corners, and hard-to-reach places, providing a steel structure that is an investment for future generations.
And their building solutions expand to off-farm as well. Central Steel Build structures can be seen all over the countryside in the commercial and industrial sector in the form of showrooms, workshops, warehouses, sale yard covers, and depots. Clients include Elders, Haeusler’s, Bunnings, RLX, Mitre 10, Bridgestone, and Powercor.
The second-generation, family-owned business values its hands-on consultation process, ensuring that their clients get the build that they want.
Central Steel Build's success is deeply rooted in their customer-centric approach. They work closely with each client, from initial consultation to final construction, ensuring that every project is executed with precision and according to the highest industry standards. Their team of experts provides guidance at every step of the process, offering innovative solutions and unparalleled support to ensure complete customer satisfaction.
Managing Director Gerald Edmonds said that the business’s commitment to maintaining an open and respectful line of communication with their clients, as well as constantly striving to improve their manufacturing processes, ensures that the results of each project are the absolute best.
Beyond functionality and customer satisfaction, Central Steel Build places a strong emphasis on sustainability. Lean manufacturing training has enabled the business to make continual improvements to reduce waste, reduce energy usage, and reduce health hazards, which has created a cleaner, safer, and smarter working environment.
“Our custom-built fabrication facility in Central Victoria has a 99kW solar panel system that generates enough electricity to feed back into the grid,” Edmonds said.
As the agricultural industry continues to evolve, Central Steel Build remains committed to pushing boundaries and setting new benchmarks in construction. With a proven track record of excellence, in their 50th year, they are poised to lead the way in shaping the future of steel structures.
Their commitment to excellence continues to earn them the trust and admiration of farmers and agricultural professionals alike, solidifying their position as a leader in agricultural structures, with 70% of their new customers coming from repeat clients and referrals a testament to this.
