Custom lightweight steel frame and façade
Balam Balam Place
Façade and top floor framing worthy of the heart of a community, CMG Frames helped Merri-bek City Council redevelop this civic hub.
Consistently high quality
Supporting distinctive architectural expression
A major civic and community facility like Balam Balam Place deserves a unique shape and character to stand out as a focal point of its neighbourhood. Working closely on Merri-bek City Council‘s redevelopment, CMG Frames engineered a façade and structural framing system to deliver architect Kennedy Nolan‘s vision.
Such large, prominent features require precision. By prefabricating a modular lightweight steel façade, we guaranteed accurate and efficient installation on site, ensuring consistent alignment and high-quality finishes.
Saving costs while maintaining structural performance
Our lightweight design reduced the amount of structural steel needed for the upper levels, substantially cutting construction costs without sacrificing structural performance.
Prefabricated modular components also streamlined installation and reduced on-site complexity, demonstrating how early design collaboration and lightweight steel systems can deliver both architectural impact and measurable project efficiencies.
