01 · LOGISTICS & DISTRIBUTION
The best logistics infrastructure is the kind you never have to think about again. VAST buildings are engineered to outlast the businesses that first occupy them — clear spans up to 60 metres, dock-ready configurations, and a structural system so precisely engineered it simply endures. Built for every standard application and certifiable for food manufacturers, pharmaceutical operators, and high-care logistics from the day of handover. No modification required.
WHY VAST
No internal columns. Maximum racking density. Foundation to frame in 3–5 weeks. 50-year structural warranty. Independently certified 44–64% below Rawlinsons benchmark. Assembly without a tape measure. The price on page one is the price on the final invoice. Forever.
TYPICAL BUILDINGS
3PL fulfilment centres · Transport depots · Last-mile hubs · Cross-dock facilities · Container unpack warehouses
02 · INDUSTRIAL & MANUFACTURING
Great manufacturing buildings are invisible — they never slow the line, never need unplanned maintenance, never become the problem. VAST buildings are engineered to disappear into the background of your operation for generations. The FormSteel Optimised High Tensile Box Beam System delivers clear spans up to 60 metres without the column grid that limits layouts and kills flexibility. One contract. One price. One building that works.
WHY VAST
The VAST building system handles overhead cranes, mezzanine loads, and heavy plant without compromise. AlloyCoat protects against industrial chemical environments for the life of the building. Bird-proof by geometry — no ledges, no re-entrant angles, no accessible voids. SIQ digital twin monitors structural performance for 50 years after handover. 50-year structural warranty.
TYPICAL BUILDINGS
Manufacturing plants · Heavy engineering workshops · Steel fabrication buildings · Processing facilities · Assembly buildings
03 · COMMERCIAL & OFFICE
A great workplace building shapes culture, attracts talent, and holds its value for decades. VAST commercial buildings are designed to do all three — structurally engineered to a standard that outlasts conventional construction, finished to a quality that commands respect, and delivered at a fixed price with zero variation risk. This is the building your organisation builds once, and never has to build again.
WHY VAST
Floor-to-ceiling integration via VAST Interiors means one relationship from structure to workstation. Fixed price. No provisional sums. 50-year structural warranty that no conventional builder in Australasia can match. Foundation to frame in 3–5 weeks.
TYPICAL BUILDINGS
Office campuses · Showrooms · Mixed-use commercial · Trade premises · Owner-occupied commercial buildings
04 · ADVANCED AGRICULTURE
New Zealand's food production capacity is one of its greatest strategic assets. The infrastructure that supports it should be built to match — engineered to commercial standards, built to perform for generations, and designed to meet MPI and food safety compliance from day one. VAST agricultural buildings are not sheds. They are precision infrastructure for the most important industry on earth.
WHY VAST
AlloyCoat steel is specified for New Zealand's harshest agricultural environments — coastal, high humidity, chemical spray exposure. The FormSteel Optimised High Tensile Box Beam System handles grain storage, livestock facilities, implement sheds, and pack houses without internal columns that limit layout flexibility. 50-year structural warranty. Foundation to frame in 3–5 weeks. Fixed price, zero variation risk.
TYPICAL BUILDINGS
Grain storage · Pack houses · Livestock facilities · Implement sheds · Horticultural processing · Dairy support buildings · FarmSteel consent-exempt rural buildings

05 · GOVERNMENT & EDUCATION
Government construction has a credibility problem. Projects go over budget. Timelines blow out. Taxpayers carry costs nobody planned for. VAST was built to fix exactly this. Every VAST government building is independently certified by a Registered Quantity Surveyor against the Rawlinsons Construction Cost Guide. The saving is contractually binding. 44-64% below benchmark. Fixed price. No variations. The number on page one is the number on the final invoice.
Typical buildings: Schools and tertiary facilities, government depots, emergency services, defence buildings, sports and community centres.

The savings-share model aligns VAST incentives directly with government outcomes. VAST earns more when certified savings are larger, which means VAST has every reason to keep costs down. Typical buildings: schools, tertiary facilities, government depots, emergency services, defence, sports and community centres.
Talk to Us About Your Project →06 · COLD STORAGE & FOOD PROCESSING
Cold storage and food processing environments are among the most demanding in construction. Temperature cycling, condensation, hygiene compliance, and intense daily operational loads attack most buildings within decades. VAST buildings are engineered to withstand them from day one. AlloyCoat protects the structural steel against moisture and chemical exposure for the life of the building. Bird-proof by geometry. Certifiable for food-grade and pharmaceutical standards from handover. No modification required.
MPI-compliant design. AlloyCoat™ corrosion protection for wet and chilled environments. Fixed price with zero variation risk. Typical buildings: cold stores, chiller rooms, food processing plants, controlled atmosphere facilities, abattoir buildings.
Talk to Us About Your Project →07 · RETAIL & HOSPITALITY
Large-format retail and hospitality buildings have one job: create an environment where people want to spend time. That requires structural clarity, generous spans, and a building envelope that simply works. VAST delivers all three. The SuperSpan system eliminates internal columns across spans up to 60 metres, giving designers and operators the flexibility to configure space without structural compromise. Foundation to frame in 3-5 weeks. Fixed price. 50-year structural warranty.
Column-free retail floors. VAST Interiors floor-to-ceiling integration available. Typical buildings: big box retail, franchise showrooms, large-format hospitality, garden centres, sports retailers, automotive dealerships.
Talk to Us About Your Project →08 · DATA CENTRES & TECH
Data centre construction demands precision, speed, and a structural system that can handle extreme mechanical and electrical loading without compromise. The FormSteel Optimised High Tensile Box Beam System delivers the clear spans and roof loading capacity that data centre operators require, in a fraction of the conventional build time. Foundation to frame in 3–5 weeks. Fully engineered before contract signing. No variations. No delays from structural redesign.
Heavy roof loading for mechanical plant. Precision structural tolerances. AlloyCoat™ protection against on-site chemical and electrical environments. SIQ digital twin for continuous structural monitoring. Typical buildings: hyperscale data halls, edge compute facilities, telco buildings, server rooms.
Talk to Us About Your Project →09 · HEALTH & MEDICAL
Healthcare facilities demand more from a building than almost any other use. Structural integrity, hygiene compliance, clear spans for flexible departmental layouts, and an envelope that performs reliably for generations. VAST builds for exactly these standards. The FormSteel Optimised High Tensile Box Beam System creates column-free environments that give healthcare operators the flexibility to reconfigure clinical space without structural constraint. AlloyCoat protects against the demanding chemical and moisture environments common in medical settings. Certifiable from handover. No modification required.
One contract. Fixed price. 50-year structural warranty. Typical buildings: medical centres, aged care facilities, allied health campuses, veterinary clinics, pharmaceutical buildings, health system support and logistics buildings.
