At INSPIRE, we do more than supply premium materials – we transform your design process with specialised consultancy services that help you specify the ideal metal solutions. From steel and aluminium to zinc and copper, we guide architects, builders, and designers through every phase, ensuring each material not only meets your vision but also enhances it. And here’s the best part: this consulting service comes at no charge!

Who We Are

INSPIRE is a premium metal design consultancy that empowers creative professionals to achieve architectural excellence. We are Australia’s exclusive supplier of some of the world’s most sought-after metal products, including VMZINC and Nordic Copper, and we’ve partnered with Selection Steel to introduce UniCote® Steel as a third tier in our premium offering.

We’re not just suppliers; we’re partners in the design process, offering the knowledge and materials needed to bring your vision to life. Whether you’re seeking timeless aesthetics or cutting-edge performance, or working on a budget conscious project, our range of exclusive products ensures you can create with confidence. From sleek, high-performance materials to bespoke textures, we provide the resources that make your architectural ideas stand out.

Design with Confidence

Imagine having an expert team by your side to help specify the perfect materials for your project. That’s exactly what INSPIRE offers – a seamless integration of premium materials into your design process. We guide you through the complex choices of materials, ensuring they not only match your aesthetic goals but also meet compliance, durability, cost and sustainability requirements, giving you an edge over your competition.

INSPIRE brings innovation to the heart of your work. Whether you're developing intricate cladding for a high-profile build or working on more intimate residential designs, we provide solutions that give you the freedom to create without constraint. Our consultancy simplifies the specification process, allowing you to focus on the bigger picture.


Exclusive Access to Unreleased Materials

INSPIRE goes beyond the standard. We offer access to a bespoke range of materials for large-scale projects, including exclusive, yet-to-be-released aesthetics that are as unique as your design. These aren’t available anywhere else – we collaborate with you to bring bold, unseen textures and finishes to life, setting your projects apart.

Tailored Metal Solutions for Iconic Designs

Partnering with INSPIRE opens up a world of architectural possibilities, yet to be experienced by the Australian market. Our exclusive selection of premium materials—whether it’s the sleek, timeless beauty of VMZINC, the natural warmth and depth of Nordic Copper, or the modern versatility of UniCote® Steel—combines form and function seamlessly. These materials empower architects to create iconic structures that are not only built to last but also designed to inspire.

Our solutions have been at the heart of some of Australia’s most impressive architectural projects, including:
