SAFETY
BlueScope Buildings is committed to safety and zero harm. Safety lies at the foundation of our
company’s culture and we practice consistent safety policies around the globe. Our commitment to zero
harm reflects our belief that we can work in an environment where risk is managed appropriately on a
daily basis. Because safety is a part of our core company principles, you will feel and see that benefit
as our employees collaborate with your teams. The result is a healthier work environment: when we are
more safe, your project is more safe - and that contributes to the bottom line.
Our invention of the Sky-Web II® Fall Protection and
Insulation Support System is just one example of our
commitment. It acts as a passive restraint system used to
protect workers from falls and can provide protection from
certain falling objects during roof construction. After the
building is complete, it serves as a support system for a
building’s insulation.
NOTE: Sky-Web systems do not eliminate fall hazard from the non-leading
edge of the roof and during installation.
ETHICS
Ethical work practices are a cornerstone of our business, and our reputation relies on ethical and
lawful conduct in all BlueScope Buildings’ activities. To support this commitment, BlueScope Buildings
has formal induction programs for each employee and annual trainings. Key components of our ethics
program include:
PRINCIPLES OF CONDUCT
BlueScope Buildings has a Guide to Business Conduct that sets out our
basic principles of business conduct. We believe that by acting fairly,
ethically and with integrity, we create lasting benefits for our company
and everyone we work with.
ADHERENCE TO TRADE PRACTICE LAWS
Trade practices and competition laws regulate companies so that competition
can be encouraged. BlueScope Buildings does not condone breaches of the law,
a position reflected in our trade practices compliance program, which includes
training for all employees.
Our strength is in
choosing to do
what is right.
ADHERENCE TO ANTI-CORRUPTION LAWS
Proper business conduct is in BlueScope Buildings’ long-term interest because it creates loyalty and trust in our employees, customers,
shareholders, the communities in which we operate, and among other stakeholders. All employees and agents representing a BlueScope
Buildings business must comply fully with all applicable anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws.
TRACE INTERNATIONAL THIRD PARTY VERIFICATION
Properly engaging third parties is essential to BlueScope Buildings‘ efforts to act with integrity and comply with applicable anti-corruption
laws. We require specific due-diligence steps before and after engaging an agent or third party, including obtaining a TRAC number, which
is a unique 12-digit TRACE Registered Access Code assigned to companies committed to commercial transparency.
ACCESS TO GLOBAL RESOURCES
Because we operate our business in many regions of the world,
you benefit from our significant local knowledge, expertise, and
relationships. And, because we ship our product globally, our
expertise extends beyond our global business footprint.
EXPERIENCE THE BENEFITS
OF LOCAL EXPERTISE WITHOUT
THE MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES
BLUESCOPE BUILDINGS’ LOCAL
RELATIONSHIPS PROVIDE:
• Knowledge of local labor, compliance,
construction conditions, contracting
practices, buildings codes and more, for
the majority of projects
• A support network for in-country
execution that includes local general
contractors, erectors and architects
• Extensive builder networks and
relationships with qualified builders that
have met our erection requirements to
install BlueScope Buildings products
We can help you:
• Reduce your business’ risks
• Successfully conduct in-country due diligence
• Navigate local requirements for construction, including compliance
• Assist in the identification of the right on-site general contractor or
construction entity. In many regions, we provide erection services
ourselves as a part of our scope of work.
CONSISTENT AND SUPERIOR GLOBAL PRODUCT QUALITY
When you are working with a BlueScope Buildings team, you are assured a quality product. We can
make this promise because we are in charge of each step along the way and have quality controls
and processes in place to ensure we deliver. These benefits include your ability to conduct most of
your inspections at a single site. Work with us to standardize details and prototypical concepts to
achieve efficiencies.
SINGLE SOURCE OF SUPPLY
RIGOROUS INSPECTION
In addition to having a single point of responsibility, you have a
single source of supply for your Engineered Building Solution,
which provides you with distinct advantages over conventional
construction:
In addition, for exports all customers receive a “white glove”
inspection to ensure a high quality shipment. Our exports have
a highly tailored packaging protocol, which plans for the most
effective erection sequence to lay the groundwork for successful
outcomes upon delivery and to avoid costly delays.
• A consistent building brand on a global scale
• Better control over all of the elements in your engineered
building, which avoids the construction risks that can
emerge with a small regional fabricator or builder where
multiple parties are involved
• A single source for warranties, workmanship, paint
finishes and weather tightness (on selected products)

EFFICIENCIES THROUGH A RELATIONSHIP
IN EARLY CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
BlueScope Buildings’ early involvement with your chosen architect and/or design firm in the planning
and design phases can help you maximize efficiencies and improve your payback period. You can
achieve significant efficiencies in three key areas:
TIMING AND SCHEDULES IMPROVEMENTS
• A timely engineering start, versus waiting multiple weeks to run a bid process
• Improved building design and layout, including optimal framing solutions and
improved construction schedules
• Shorter schedules, which allow for lower construction financing costs
SAVINGS ON MATERIALS
• Early availability of Anchor Bolt Reactions, allowing foundation design
engineers to design to specific reactions versus a conservative design
approach to accommodate unknown reactions
• An owner-supplied scope, which eliminates or reduces the
general contractor mark-up on the building envelope scope
of work (typically a savings of 5 to 7% on material prices)
PROJECT SAVINGS
• Competitively-priced engineering, because it is priced into our product
versus being our sole product
You can achieve
the most significant
savings in your
building project
through involving
BlueScope Buildings
in early concept
development.
• Streamlined engineering costs: the EPC or DI structural design and bidding
process often results in your paying twice for engineering (which could be
US $50,000 to $200,000)
These efficiencies allow you to get a premium product at less than market transaction rates. And, you will know exactly what you are
getting because of the close relationship with BlueScope Buildings throughout the process.

VALUE ENGINEERING AND DESIGN
Because our core competency is the efficient design, detail and fabrication of your building envelope,
we know these designs better than traditional design firms. We schedule your project to a specific
sequence and then advise on the load, shipment, unload, site layout and erection of the building shell
to that sequence.
THE RIGHT BUILDING SOLUTION FOR YOU
Value Engineered Design is a building design tailored to meet your building’s needs,
resulting in the most efficient solution. This approach allows us to:
• Design optimal building envelopes
• Work with you to understand all aspects of your business processes – bays /
modules, insurance requirements, erection sequencing, erectability, and safety
– and then design an optimal framing solution to meet your needs
• Standardize value engineered designs and create prototypes to continue to
provide overall cost reductions
Your building is on a
critical path – and our
mission is to shorten
that path.
• Focus on optimizing in-place cost solutions, because we control engineering
and fabrication and understand the erection process
BUDGETS, PROPOSALS, SCHEDULES
AND EARLY ANCHOR BOLT REACTIONS
We provide consistent proposals and budgets that are easy for you to understand and interpret,
regardless of the scale, scope, or location of a project. Our goal is that you understand what you are
getting time after time with a development schedule you can count on.
INSIGHTS INTO BUDGETS AND SCHEDULES
• For low to moderate complexity projects – we provide budgets and schedules within 2 to 3 weeks, depending on
information availability and complexity
• For low to moderate complexity projects – we provide anchor bolt reactions within 2 to 3 weeks
SCHEDULING ADVANTAGES
• When we have earlier visibility to your projects, you can achieve a better schedule with tight controls - versus a
scheduling experience where you are dependent on the schedule of the general contractor based on the final
selection of a building manufacturer

SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
BlueScope Buildings is dedicated to sustainability. Our goal is to reduce the impact that buildings
have on the environment through the building’s design, construction and operation. Our planning
takes the building’s entire life cycle into account.
THE BENEFITS OF STEEL
Steel is 100% recyclable and steel construction reduces energy costs, lifetime maintenance and the amount of waste materials created.
Frames and structurals have over 70% recycled steel content and are designed to be easily disassembled and recycled. Our metal roof
and wall panels have up to 20% recycled content.
•
ENERGY EFFICIENCY: We offer cool roof and wall paints provide solar reflectivity. We also offer building solutions
such as day-lighting (skylights and translucent panels) and roof and wall insulation systems.
•
REDUCED MATERIALS USAGE: Our design helps minimize the use of construction materials
•
LOW TRANSPORTATION COSTS: Regional plants help assure nearby production, close to many building sites,
which reduces transportation energy costs
•
EXPERIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING IN LEED DESIGN CRITERIA: 4 of the 6 categories outlined by LEED
that contribute to sustainability are applicable to BlueScope Buildings
WE PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH: Our newest building plant in Xi’an, the People’s Republic of China, has
been awarded a LEED Gold certification. It is also China’s first 3 star industrial building. LEED certification
provides third-party verification that a building has been designed and built using strategies aimed at high
performance in sustainable building. BlueScope Buildings can help you achieve this certification for your
building project.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PRIOR TO SHIPMENTS
BlueScope Buildings has developed a comprehensive approach to project planning in which all facets of our company
work together towards the successful planning and delivery of your building solution. Our process is driven by:
• A Common Vision
• Understanding customer expectations via dialogue
and shared sketches which results in a common
vision of project progression. This vision informs
the project schedule.
• Showing the optimal erection sequence and equipment
needs in our erection planning
• A Clear Map to Success
• Breaking down the project schedule into small units
(manifests) based on the desired sequence of events
• Further reducing construction time by providing a
detailed sketch plan that shows each activity as it
should be occurring
If you are operating projects across multiple sites and locations, then an aligned approach
through our GREEN PROGRAM plan offers the higher level of global service that you need.
With this service offer, we also will leverage the critical information we are gaining about your
company across projects, provide you with the best value pricing and offer preferred warranties.
LEVERAGED GLOBAL PRODUCT HISTORY
As our strategic relationship with you develops, we capture lessons learned. The result is increasing
efficiencies from one project to the next.

BIM/4D ERECTION MODELING
BlueScope Buildings’ models create the foundation for the process of generating and managing
building data through the building life cycle, and we are creating process improvements that will
create real-time review opportunities throughout the planning process. Consistency in modeling
helps eliminate uncertainty during the design phase – and can reduce costly changes during the
construction phase.
AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO
BUILDING VISUALIZATION
• Our engineering drawings are compatible with most
standard BIM (Building Information Modeling) software,
such as Revit® and Tekla®
• In early 2015, we will be offering 4D erection modeling
that helps visualize a building project and links the 3D
representation with the project schedule. Our engineering
file is imported into Revit software. Then we incorporate
the Microsoft Project construction sequence file – and
create an initial construction sequence animation.
• We will deliver a final .RVT file, NWD file, .3ds file as well
as an exported .WMV video of the animation
• This modeling tool offers full interactivity at every stage
of the project. Adjustments to the schedule can be
made in such a way that various building scenarios can
be analyzed, checked, and then shared with all parties
involved in the building project.
• The planning process can be closely monitored by
every entity resulting in shared understanding, timeline
improvements and lower costs
