ESS Partners

ESS is a leader, not a follower. The decade-old company has a proven track record of solving business problems and developing innovative and dependable software that delivers improved business outcomes.

With a decade of problem-solving experience that spans the steel framing, water, construction, manufacturing, transport, defence and scientific applications industries, ESS has developed a methodology that guarantees results and a reputation for excellence.

Australia leads the world in the development and supply of steel-framed homes, with an estimated market share of about 30 per cent and exports to Europe and the US.

Part of this success is due to the technology created by ESS, the dominant software supplier for the steel-frame housing industry. The key to this success for ESS (Engineering Software Solutions) is that it understands the problems faced by steel framing companies.

As part of the foundation of the rapidly developing structure of the steel industry, ESS partners with other industry leaders including:
