Need something seriously strong, precisely made from metal? Whether it’s hefty structural steel for a build, slick stainless steel handrails, custom ute trays, or even unique metalwork for art in Lismore, we’ve got the gear and the know-how.
Finding specialised metal fabricators can be tricky, but our Northern Rivers workshop handles it all from commercial, industrial, and residential projects, always meeting Australian standards for safety and durability. We work closely with our builder and carpentry teams to ensure every steel element integrates perfectly with the rest of your project. No coordination headaches, just one seamless result.
Our Lismore steel fabrication team is serious about precision and quality. That goes for any job, whether it’s just the steel bit or part of a larger building, roofing or plumbing project. If you want top-tier metalwork that’s built to last, let’s get started.
Whether you walk in with a detailed sketch, a rough idea, or just a “can you make this?” question, we’ve got you. Our steel fabrication process is designed to be smooth, collaborative, and seriously efficient. Here’s how it works:
Give us a call, flick through some inspiration, or drop by the workshop. We’ll find out what you’re after, whether it’s heavy-duty, decorative, or somewhere in between.
Got plans and dimensions? Great! Don’t have any? Also fine. We’ll talk through functionality, aesthetics, materials (steel? stainless? Corten?), and any extras like lighting or finishes. We’ll prompt the right questions to shape your idea properly.
We’ll send through a clear, detailed quote that outlines everything such as materials, labour, and timelines, so you know what’s what from the start.
This is where the sparks fly (literally). Our Lismore steel fabrication team gets to work cutting, welding, folding and finishing your piece with precision and care.
Step 5 – Installation (if needed) Need it installed? No worries. As a one-stop tradie shop, we can handle electrical hookups, structural fixes, or related work, so if something extra comes up mid-install, we’ve got it covered.
Once your steelwork is complete and installed, we’ll walk you through the final product. Need care tips or future maintenance advice? We’ll talk you through that too, so your investment stays in top shape.

Words cannot describe the exceptional experience I had with Northern Local Trades Group when they installed a Colourbond roof on my home. The entire process was handled with seamless precision by Temo. The project management was amazing. The roofing and building specialists were available and informative, keeping me in the loop with the stages of the roof replacement.
As the Secretary of a Strata Committee the process of obtaining quotes for maintenance of Strata dwellings is fraught with many difficulties. I have found Temo and his teams at the NR Trades Group personable, professional and reliable. At this stage of our process, and before any quotes have been accepted, Temo and his teams have exceeded my expectations.
These guys did a great job. They were excellent communicators and the work was completed really efficiently. Our new guttering looks and works beautifully. I highly recommend them.
The guys were great to deal with, kept me informed on progress, dealt with difficult weather conditions, and importantly, did a great professional job. We recommend this company to others.
Recently had the roof rescrewed, painted and restored with new flashing added. I’m really happy with the teams who completed the roof restoration and the painting including the electricians who removed and reinstalled the solar. The communication from NR trades was excellent and I was happy with the advice I was given and the end product. Thanks to all.
We are pleased to recommend this group - communication was prompt, options fully explained, the roof painting result met all of our expectations.
Need custom metalwork for strength or style? Get answers about structural steel, stainless fabrication and custom designs here.
Yes, structural steel fabrication is a core service. We precisely cut, drill and weld beams (like UB or PFC sections) and posts according to your engineer’s plans for residential or commercial frames in Lismore.
Definitely. We specialise in stainless steel fabrication, typically using marine-grade 316 stainless for outdoor handrails and balustrades. This ensures a high-quality, corrosion-resistant finish that handles the Northern Rivers coastal air and looks great for years.
Steel is our primary material, both mild and stainless, but we can also fabricate with aluminium depending on the project. Aluminium is ideal for lightweight architectural features or signage where corrosion resistance and versatility are key. If your project requires aluminium, we’ll discuss whether it’s the right fit during your consultation.
Yes! Beyond structural work, we love creative custom metal fabrication. Bring us your ideas for laser-cut privacy screens (Corten steel is popular!), unique garden sculptures, bespoke gates, or feature panels, we can help design and create them alongside our building services.
