Engineered for Higher-Quality Installation A Butler™ building is a modular construction system that is more economical and faster to erect, requiring fewer parts than conventional building systems.

simpler | faster | better

What Can a Modular Building System Offer You?Unlike a modular system, providers of conventional building systems require you to perform on-site modifications and labour-intensive tasks when erecting their building systems.

When you erect a modular system, such as a Butler™ building, you have the added benefits of;

Less steel in your buildings. Clever transport packing including detailed installation direction and component

identification. Building components delivered pre-punched for fast and precise installation. No on-site modification of primary and secondary structurals. No on-site modification of roof cladding and ancillary flashings. No on-site welding of flange braces. No on-site measures required. No readjusting cable bracing during erection to keep the building plumb and square. Fewer exposed fasteners for greater watertightness. A comprehensive complete building weathertight warranty*

When you erect a modular building system you save time, labour and minimise on-site disputes due to no mixed liability; creating greater precision and long-term building performance.

For a project of this scale BlueScope Buildings was, without any doubt, the best steel contractor I have worked with, in Sydney, in the past 20 years. Their BUTLER™ building system impresses because it saves time and money. From a builder’s perspective this equates to increased productivity, while for the client it means lower costs and faster occupancy. In fact, I’m looking forward to doing more work with BlueScope Buildings in the future.

Claus Bredow, Project ManagerTotal Construction

The onestop-shop approach to the design, fabrication and erection produced a great result.

Steve Torta, Senior Project ManagerKell & Rigby

The first facility we built, in Melbourne, we built conventionally. But because we were time limited with this job and spent more time in the initial design process than intended, we

crunched the building time. Even so, BlueScope Buildings delivered on time and on budget.

Stan Sackson, General Manager Construction Linfox Property Group


flange braCesfrom concept to construction

Standard Lengths - Faster and More Economical Installation The Butler™ system provides one flange brace that is customised by

varying the factory-punched hole locations in the beams.

No on-site welding is required to connect Butler™ flange braces to long span joists (truss purlins).

The Butler™ system requires no modification, cutting or coping of the flange braces at the web connection.

We had an established relationship with the BlueScope Company, Butler Buildings, in the United States as our designer. We have a particular way we want to see our buildings designed and constructed and it just made sense to partner with BlueScope down here in Australia. We didn’t want to reinvent the wheel. We just wanted to use designs and systems that have been proven at Costco sites around the world over many years.

Patrick Noone, CEOCostco Wholesale Australia

From a sustainability point of view our solution offered several advantages. The structure we engineered required significantly less steel than a conventional design and delivered cost savings for labour and materials.

Steve Torta, Senior Project ManagerKell & Rigby

Anyone looking to build a major structure should certainly consider BlueScope Buildings and the Butler™ building system. It’s a good design system that goes together well and is backed by good support.
