The form notes a minimum building width of 15m / 50ft. ## Company history (from the Our history timeline) - 1975: Grace Weld Industries is established, manufacturing small products such as shopping trolleys and bakery racks. - 1980: The company develops into Steelware Products, expanding into truck trays and structural steel frames. - 1990: The business buys and sells fabrication and metalworking machinery such as drills, lathes and welders. - 1992: Recognising the agricultural market as a growth opportunity, the business relocates from Adelaide to Mt Gambier with a focus on de-centralisation. - 2005: The machinery business is sold and efforts concentrate on steel fabrication, with a particular focus on structural steel sheds. - 2007: After pioneering structural steel sheds with a completely hot dip galvanised frame, the company is rebranded as Spanlift Buildings. - 2010: Each section of the business is given its own brand, forming a "House of Brands" under the Spanlift Buildings Group. - 2014: A board of directors is formed and Spanlift Australia is branded. - 2018: The admin team relocates to Adelaide, increasing manufacturing capacity and enabling further team expansion. The site states Spanlift has been setting the benchmark for structural steel sheds and buildings across Australia since 2005, and that it has been delivering large-scale commercial and bulk storage projects since 2006. ## Materials, standards and compliance - 100% Australian-made heavy structural steel is used as the backbone of every building. - All structural steel components, including roof trusses, beams and columns, are fully hot dip galvanised. Coatings are done to Australian Standard AS/NZS 4680, and steel suppliers are stated to be compliant with that standard. - Hot dip galvanising is described as creating a thick, metallically bonded zinc coating that envelops the steel inside and out, providing three levels of corrosion protection: barrier protection, cathodic protection and zinc patina formation. This delivers outstanding abrasion resistance and predictable long-term performance. - As part of its business code of ethics, Spanlift follows the National Construction Code (NCC) and the Building Code of Australia (BCA). - Spanlift manages the complete council approval process, including drawings, engineering and permit submissions, on the client's behalf. - Quality assurance checks are conducted at multiple stages, from drafting and engineering, through steel fabrication, to before construction and handover. Each project is assigned a unique ID number and monitored in project management software from initial order to handover. - Buildings are designed with 3D modelling software at real-world scale, with the site also referencing the use of VR (virtual reality) and 3D CAD working drawings. ## The Spanlift Promise and values The Spanlift Promise has three parts: - Sound Advice: technically sound advice covering manufacturing and productivity requirements, supported by industry reports, calculator tools and site plans. - Smart Design: designs based on the latest 3D software, integrating technology and environmental factors, and future-proofing for productivity and output. - Smooth Journey: an assigned project manager and site manager, covering council approvals, drawings and engineering, with assistance on financial documentation if required, and support through and after the build. Core values (published on both the Meet the team and Our promise pages): - "How can I help?": a culture built on communicating and working collaboratively. - "Jump right in.": identifying challenges and opportunities and taking the initiative. - "Think smart.": strategic decisions and innovative solutions for the best customer results. - "Sorted.": taking ownership and honouring commitments to customers. The company's stated purpose is built on protection: protecting customers' investment, equipment, produce, livestock and business capital value; protecting staff, subcontractors and others through safety in design; and operating on a business ethos of strong values. ## Team Key people listed on the Meet the team page: - Garry Grace, General Manager - Charles Grace, Sales Manager - Jude Hargreaves, Finance & HR Manager - Tony Cirillo, Project Manager - Dikea Dimitriou, Compliance Officer - Reinhardt van den Berg, Business Development Manager - Michael Fischer, Business Development Manager - Tom Grace, Design Team Leader - Rebecca Bell, Marketing Specialist - Tash Grace, Product Coordinator - Victoria Grace, Sales & Marketing Assistant ## The build process Spanlift publishes two versions of its process, depending on the page. Six-stage process (used on the farm sheds, machinery sheds, yard covers, feedlots, grain sheds, COLA and commercial construction pages): 1. Discovery meeting: building consultants work through the project vision and turn ideas into a functional design. 2. Proposal development: a construction proposal detailing the scope of work is prepared from the finalised design. 3. Documentation and approvals: drawings and engineering are completed and council approvals obtained. 4. Procurement and manufacture: components are produced in the in-house manufacturing facility under quality control. 5. Delivery and construction: the team manages the construction process on site. 6. Project handover: a final shed inspection is carried out with the client. Alternative six-stage process (used on the wineries and warehouse construction pages): 1. "Let's kick the dirt": an initial consultation refining requirements and ideas. 2. Proposal and acceptance: a detailed proposal explaining what is included. 3. Design and engineering: engineering and working drawings prepared for council approval, and a project manager assigned. 4. Council permits: submission of engineering and working drawings and follow-up of the approval process. 5. Manufacturing / fabrication: raw steel cut and sent for hot dip galvanising. 6. Dispatch: materials delivered to site and checked against the load sheet. ## Building packages Spanlift offers three package levels for commercial and warehouse projects: - Full turnkey: full design and construct by the design and consultancy team, including smart functional design, building, offices, connections and compliance, plus comprehensive design, drawings and project management. All that is left is to turn the key. - Lock up: the building is completed to lockup stage, ready for the client to complete the fit-out, with cladding and stormwater to ground level, a concrete floor, and design, drafting and project management of the building only. - Envelope only: Spanlift takes over from the prepared pad and supplies and installs footings, steel frame, purlins and cladding, with structural design, drawings and construction management, ready for the concrete floor and other trades. ## Capabilities Building design and engineering: site analysis, preplanning and surveying; structural engineering and detailing; civil engineering; council approval management; fire design; procurement and logistics; in-house manufacturing; construction methodology; project delivery stages and schedules.

In South Australia, SA Power Networks is the regulatory body for this. - Fire requirements vary between states and local council regions. In South Australia, a basic open farm shed is unlikely to require fire tanks, but this depends on current council requirements. - Planning approval is required for farm sheds across most of Australia, with the extent depending on local council requirements. Machinery sheds: - Machinery sheds are commonly used for tractors, combine harvesters and rotary tillers, and many customers also use them for hay or grain storage when equipment is not in use. - Site orientation is the aspect Spanlift most often recommends considering first. - Sliding doors require sufficient clearance above the door height, which is discussed with the building consultant. - All machinery sheds Spanlift builds can be expanded in future, and future doors, canopies or lean-tos should be discussed at planning stage so the engineering allows for them. Hay sheds: - Key considerations include height clearance for trucks and machinery, and traffic flow in and out of the shed. A hay shed can be extended in length later but cannot be raised in height. - Position affects ventilation and airflow, which is essential for preventing moisture build-up and mould growth. - Spanlift strongly advises against building hay sheds near powerlines, noting sheds can run from 20m to over 100m in length and stand over 7m high. - Telehandlers can reach 5 to 7m, so future equipment height should inform the design. - Bale capacity can range from 500 to 10,000 bales. Grain sheds: - Spanlift recommends avoiding positioning a grain shed near hay sheds or trees, which can harbour birds, pests and rodents. - Many customers use grain sheds for machinery or fertiliser storage outside the grain season. - Size depends on the operation and volume stored; sheds built range from 500m2 to over 3000m2. - Key considerations include purpose and lifespan of the building, product stored, insulation and ventilation, clearance heights and centre columns for truck tipping and stack heights, and bunkers and separation bays. Yard covers and shearing sheds: - Yard covers can be built over existing stockyards with very little interference to daily operations, with careful attention to column placement. - Yard covers can be extended later, with provisions put in place at design stage. - Combining an existing sheep yard with a shearing shed is one way to make a shearing shed more cost-effective. - Shearing shed size depends on the operation setup and head of sheep, and Spanlift works with the client's internal fit-out provider on stand configurations. Feedlots and dairy sheds: - Roof shape does affect airflow, and depends on head numbers, stocking density, geography and topography. A good designer calculates airflow movement at cattle level. - Natural light is described as second in importance to airflow, with Spanlift's vented light ridge offered as an option that adds light without introducing heat. - Shade and shelter have a significant impact on feed conversion rate and milk production. - Clearance height depends on building use; height helps with equipment clearance and reduces reflected heat, but excessive height can compromise shelter. - Future-proofing should account for larger equipment, larger herds and robotics. Covered outdoor learning areas: - The main design styles are curved and angled roof designs, primarily designed for drainage, weathering and protection. - Protection around columns near a playing surface is usually recommended, with ample room allowed between the court edge and the structure. - There is no standard size for school gymnasiums, though there are standard court and playing surface sizes; the structure depends on court numbers and any additional facilities such as change rooms, viewing stands, offices and storage. - COLAs can be built between school classrooms on a case-by-case basis, subject to existing services such as power, water and sewer not conflicting with footing locations. Warehouse construction: - The service covers design consultation, structural engineering, 3D CAD modelling, council approval management, in-house manufacturing of steel components, construction management and quality assurance through to handover. - Council approvals are handled by Spanlift and included in all warehouse construction packages. - Warehouses can be designed around specific operational requirements including racking systems, forklift heights and gantry crane requirements. ## Industry partners and associations shown on the site Building and materials: BlueScope, Lysaght, InfraBuild, Liberty, United Steel, Metroll, Coventry Group, Hanson, Polymaster, Vater Hardware, adxdepot, Galvanizers Association of Australia, Australian Steel Institute, Trimble.
