Structural Steel Fabricators

Custom Structural Steel Fabrication

Structural steel fabrication shouldn’t suck the life out of you. That’s why Star Sheetmetal is your ride-or-die metal fabrication team in Melbourne. 

We’re all about getting you the good stuff: top-notch steel delivered faster than a kangaroo on a hot tin roof. Skyscraper or backyard structure? No sweat. 

Our team’s got the skills and the precision obsession to make it happen. We’ll throw ideas around like a backyard BBQ, work with you every step of the way, and turn your vision into a steel structure that’ll make your jaw drop. We cut, fold, weld and assemble structural steel in-house, with laser cutting up to 16mm mild steel and a 120 tonne × 3.6m brake press. Finishes include hot-dip galvanising to AS/NZS 4680, sandblasting, zinc priming and powder coating, and our structural steel goes into construction, transport, mining, manufacturing and architectural projects. Recent construction work from our Brooklyn workshop includes the Curlewis, Heather and Pheonix projects.
