Steelspan has a new home. As of October 2026, we’ve moved from 19 Tironui Road in Takanini to 281 Linwood Road, Karaka.

Why we moved #

Karaka gives us genuine access to both rural and city markets, and it’s easy for clients to reach. It also helps us keep overheads as low as we genuinely can, so our pricing stays competitive, while giving us enough yard space and covered space to serve our clients well.

What stays the same #

  • Same team. The people you’ve dealt with are the people you’ll keep dealing with.
  • Same numbers. Call 0800 787 726 or email info@steelspan.co.nz.
  • Same reach. We still supply kitset steel buildings anywhere in New Zealand and the Pacific, and deliver full design & build projects anywhere in the North Island.
  • Same approach. Family-owned, not a franchise, and no surprises: we do what we say we’re going to do.

Visiting us #

Visitors are welcome. You can book an appointment, or drop in during our normal hours, when the office is staffed. Our hours are on Google Maps. Karaka is a short drive from Papakura, Drury and Pukekohe, handy for the Awhitu Peninsula and Waiuku, and easy to find for clients across South Auckland and the Waikato.

Got a project in mind? #

Whether it’s a farm shed, a lifestyle barn or a commercial building, the first step hasn’t changed. Use our Easy Shed Quote or give us a call.
