CRT Building Products (CRT) has been manufacturing building materials in Canberra since 1964. Over 59 years, CRT has grown from prefabricated timber roof trusses and frames to an extensive range of timber and steel building products. In 2005, CRT Building Products joined the national Steeline group and launched Steeline Canberra, enabling it to offer a huge range of Colorbond® roofing and cladding products manufactured right here in Canberra.

The superb quality of CRT products is guaranteed through their precise quality control processes. Products are designed and detailed inhouse at their Mitchell facility by locals using state-of-the-art technology. The experts at CRT are extensively trained with specialised software and techniques. This ensures that CRT can offer the highest quality as well as the best options for each client, such as hybrid timber and steel framing systems.

CRT is innovative and proactive in meeting the industry’s and, therefore, the community’s needs. When timber shortages were rampant due to the pandemic, bushfires and other external influences, CRT expanded their offerings to include steel products that would meet local builders’ demands. Supporting local and Australian materials is a point of pride for CRT and they strive to source their timber and steel from Australia whenever possible.

CRT is always looking for new and innovative offerings that can support local builders and roofers. They recently introduced Studio Pods – flat-pack steel kits that provide easily installable secondary spaces. Every piece of these customisable kits is designed and manufactured inhouse in Canberra.

Next year, CRT looks forward to celebrating its 60-year anniversary and all the accomplishments that those six decades have entailed. The experience and skill that CRT has acquired over that time points to even greater things to come.
