Gympie Home Builders

There’s nothing quite like starting from scratch. Building a new home means having the freedom to create something that works perfectly for your block, your lifestyle, and your future plans.

But with that freedom comes a lot of decisions—and that’s where working with the right builder makes all the difference. From choosing between steel or timber frames to finalising layouts and finishes, it’s a process that requires clear communication, expert guidance, and proper planning to get right.

At Shane Rice Builder & Renovation Specialist, we build custom homes across Gympie and surrounding areas with a strong focus on practical design, quality workmanship and stress-free project management.

Steel Frame Homes

Steel frame homes offer excellent durability, especially in areas prone to termites, high humidity or shifting soil.

The non-combustible nature of steel makes it a great choice for bushfire-prone regions, and its dimensional stability means frames stay straight over time without warping, shrinking or twisting. For clients looking to build a low-maintenance, long-lasting home, steel framing is a practical, future-proof choice.

The design flexibility of steel frames also allows for wider spans and open-plan layouts without compromising structural integrity. While steel frames can involve slightly longer lead times during the build, they deliver strong, consistent results.

If you’re after a home that’s sturdy, secure and built to last in Queensland’s conditions, a steel frame build could be the perfect fit.

Timber Home Frames with Natural Flexibility

Timber frame homes are a popular choice for good reason. They’re cost-effective, readily available, and easy to customise—making them ideal for both modern and traditional designs.

Timber is naturally insulating and allows for quicker construction, which can be especially appealing if you're working to a timeline. It also lends itself well to classic Queenslander-style homes or projects where a warmer, more natural aesthetic is preferred.

The flexibility of timber makes it easy to modify during the build, which is helpful for sloped or unusual blocks. It’s also easier to run services like electrical and plumbing through timber frames.

With proper treatment and maintenance, a timber frame home can be just as durable and functional as steel—while offering more adaptability throughout the building process.
