Steel Supplies and Metal Fabrication Services Lismore

NR Local Trades is a steel supply and metal fabrication business based in Lismore, serving homeowners, builders and trades across the Northern Rivers. We supply, cut and fabricate structural steel, hollow sections, sheet, plate and stainless products to AS/NZS standards for residential, commercial and industrial projects.

What We Help With

NR Local Trades is a steel merchant and metal fabricator helping Lismore homeowners, builders and businesses with:


  • Structural steel beams in UB, UC and welded sections, Grade 300 standard with higher grades on request
  • Steel RHS and SHS hollow sections for lintels, framing and architectural feature work, commonly in C350L0 grade
  • Steel flat sheets in mild steel, galvanised and stainless finishes for cladding, flooring, roofing and fabrication
  • Steel angle iron, round pipe, checker plate and channel for bracing, handrails, walkways and ceiling supports
  • Galvanised and stainless steel finishes chosen to suit Lismore's outdoor, marine and hygienic requirements


The Northern Rivers climate is hard on exposed metal, with high humidity, seasonal flooding and salt-laden air moving in from the coast all accelerating corrosion on untreated steel. That's why we default to galvanised or coated finishes on anything installed outdoors in Lismore, from fencing and handrails to carport frames, and reserve raw mild steel for internal or protected applications where corrosion exposure is minimal.

Why Quality Steel Supplies are Essential for Your Project

Steel is the backbone of construction and fabrication work across Lismore, and the grade we supply directly determines how long your structure stands and how safely it performs. We work to Australian Standards on every job, specifying steel under AS/NZS 3678 so homeowners in Lismore get components engineered to handle the loads they were designed for. Choosing correctly matters because the right steel supply delivers real, measurable advantages for your project:


  • Structural integrity, with Grade 300 and Grade 350 steel providing long-lasting strength and reducing the risk of brittle failure
  • Cost-effective durability, since selecting the correct grade and finish now means fewer repairs and replacements later
  • Versatile application across residential, commercial and industrial jobs, from a simple carport frame to a full structural build
  • Local expertise, with mill certificates available on request so Lismore homeowners have full traceability on the steel we supply


When you choose NR Local Trades for your steel supply in Lismore, we make sure your project meets Australian Standards and performs as designed for years to come.

Residential Steel Supplies

If you are a Lismore homeowner planning a renovation, extension or DIY build, NR Local Trades supplies custom steel cut to the profiles, grades and quantities your project needs. From framing a home extension and building a steel staircase to fabricating a garden gate or replacing boundary fencing, we help you choose the right steel supply the first time. Custom fabrication is available for jobs of any size, whether that is a single cut length of checker plate or a complete set of stair stringers, backed by our local knowledge of Lismore conditions and building requirements. We also work directly with Lismore builders and trades on staged supply, so steel arrives on site in the sequence your build program needs.

Commercial Steel Solutions

For commercial and industrial clients, NR Local Trades delivers professional steel supply and fabrication built to demanding specifications. Our commercial steel solutions cover warehouse frames, mezzanine floors, balustrades and heavy equipment supports, and we scale to handle complex, high-volume orders reliably. Our team matches material selection to engineered load requirements, exposure conditions and budget targets, so Lismore businesses get a steel supply that performs under real commercial demands. We work alongside engineers and builders from the design stage where needed, so specifications are confirmed before cutting begins.

Our Steel Supply Process

Our process is built around four clear steps. We begin with a project assessment, evaluating your steel requirements against load demands and environmental exposure, and recommending the right grade, whether that's lighter Grade 250 for residential framing or Grade 350 for high-strength commercial structures.


From there, we move to material selection, recommending the steel types, sizes and quantities your Lismore project actually needs, and advising on custom aluminium fabrication where steel may be too heavy for the application.


Next comes precision cutting and preparation, with:


  • Guillotining, folding, drilling and notching carried out to precise measurements
  • Quality control checks at every stage for dimensional accuracy
  • Weld integrity verified before any component leaves our workshop


Finally, we handle delivery and support throughout Lismore and the Northern Rivers, including on-site modifications and mobile welding as your project evolves. Our service area covers:


  • Lismore and surrounding suburbs, including North Lismore, Goonellabah and East Lismore
  • Casino, Kyogle and the wider Richmond Valley
  • Ballina, Alstonville and the coastal Northern Rivers
  • Byron Bay, Mullumbimby and the Tweed hinterland

Why Lismore Homeowners Choose NR Local Trades

NR Local Trades supplies and fabricates steel locally in Lismore, so you deal directly with the people preparing your materials rather than a distant depot or call centre. We specify every job to AS/NZS standards, provide mill certificates on request for full traceability, and default to corrosion-resistant finishes suited to the Northern Rivers climate rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Our support doesn't stop at delivery — we offer on-site modifications and mobile welding as your project evolves, and we work with builders on staged supply so materials arrive when your build program actually needs them.

Real Reviews from Local Customers

Five black star icons in a row on a white background

Words cannot describe the exceptional experience I had with Northern Rivers 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. The end product is a beautiful trouble free roof that looks like it always belonged on the building. I couldn't be happier with the professionalism, timeliness, and reliability of the team. The care, precision and communication taken throughout the process was top notch! This is a first class business to manage your building and renovation needs. Highest recommendation.

Five black stars on a white background, aligned in a row

I recently contacted NR Local Trades Group Pty Ltd regarding a roof installation for my investment property. Even though I have not engaged them for the work yet, I was very impressed with their customer service. They were extremely knowledgeable, took the time to explain everything clearly, and provided all the information I needed without any pressure. What stood out the most was that they were genuinely helpful and supportive, without expecting anything in return. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that values professionalism and transparency. Highly recommend based on my experience so far.

OUTSTANDING from start to finish. If I could give '10' out of 5 stars I would. Rodrigo, office and installation team were prompt and professional in all aspects, from responding to my initial enquiry, attending (at short notice) to give an onsite quote, providing prompt and comprehensive details in writing, keeping me fully informed with updates towards installation, project managing the work itself (which needed to be done in my absence from the property) and finalisation of the full project. Excellent in every way. My highest recommendation.

Could not have asked for a better company to have done our house. The work is impeccable, Temo worked with us and our timings and made everything so easy including being able to have electrics also done as well as carpenters. We are thrilled with the job. Thank you Temo, Rodrigo and Johan and all the other boys who did an amazing job.
