From Steve: Hi, I am a home owner living in Hughenden – North West Queensland. In the past I have used solar span for deck roofing and it seems to work well. I have been on your web site, re: the use structural walls and roofing. I am looking to erect an eco-friendly retirement house there along the lines of the attached pics and floor plan. The pics attached are just an impression of how the interior structure might appear but of course in the baked enamel finish. Can your products be put together to give a vaulted ceiling look in the front area of lounge/kitchen/dining. If so, do you design house plans or have someone who does. In Hughenden the sub soil is cracking clay so most houses have a wooden floor and sit on adjustable stumps. I would be keen to hear back from you in due course.

Steve sent through layout he had done using excel and below is the photo attached.

Morning Steve,

The news this morning is, I have a meeting with the designer of the new steel connection system to complement the ICA process and it should suit your design very nicely.  We also have a consultancy group of architects interested in coming on board as well as or own couple of architects.  The system will give you the look your after With exposed rafters, only they will be powder coated RHS steel sections and for the span will probably only require a single purlin in the middle and one at the apex. You will also have the same horizontal member at position below apex line. The best part is that you can have the complete open look from end to end, you can still put ceilings over bedrooms, or whatever.

The beauty of all this is the frames not like trusses can be sent in.

Break down form and easily assembled.  Same for the complete floor system.
