IronLab is our dedicated steel building division, created for projects where the speed and modularity of container-based construction is required with a permanent structural steel roof.
Not every project needs a steel roof. We offer both premium PVC shelters and permanent steel systems.
Site-specific engineering available for New Zealand conditions.
Industrial structural steel designed for long-term use.
Clear-span platforms from 6m to 14m, plus larger custom projects.
A premium PVC Container Shelter remains the fastest and most cost-effective solution for many sites. IronLab gives you another option when the project calls for a permanent structural steel roof, easier wall integration or a more traditional building finish.
Fast, flexible and highly cost-effective covered space using a premium engineered PVC membrane.
An engineered structural steel roof system for workshops, industrial buildings and projects requiring a permanent steel finish.
After more than a decade supplying Container Shelters, we started seeing a growing number of projects that needed something different.
Customers still wanted the speed, flexibility and usable footprint created by shipping containers, but they also wanted a permanent structural steel roof that could integrate with walls, doors, cladding and internal fitout.
IronLab was created to complement our premium PVC shelter range, not replace it.
Container Shelters remain the smartest solution for many storage, rural and industrial applications. IronLab gives us another tool for projects where a permanent steel building is the better fit.

We can recommend premium PVC or structural steel based on the actual requirements of the project.
Proven IronLab platforms with larger and custom configurations available.
Configure the building around its intended use, site access, containers and future fitout.
This IronLab project shows how a large clear-span steel structure can be assembled around shipping containers, creating serious usable space without approaching the job like a conventional building from day one.
Primary steel assembled at ground level before lifting.
Shipping containers provide both structure and usable storage.
Roof edge protection installed before the final roofing stage.
IronLab structures can remain open-sided or be configured with cladding, doors, storage, services and internal fitout to suit the job, the site and the people using it.
