Building products rollformer BHP Steel Lysaght is using a move into new Victorian production facilities to showcase the performance of purlins made from GALVASPAN® steel. Cold formed, galvanised purlins made from GALVASPAN® steel have minimum yield strengths 60 percent greater than hot rolled steel purlins. This allows lighter sections to be used and fixing times to be minimised by using self drilling, self tapping screws. Find out more here:

A novel steel roof truss system developed to create usable space inside a roof cavity has allowed a Sydney architectural company to create a large rumpus room at minimal cost. Rob Hale of the YBC Group is using steel building frame technology to convert a conventional fibro home into a spacious two storey dwelling in the style of mid-western American architecture. Speed of erection, design flexibility and the structural integrity of the framing system made from ZINCALUME® steel, were major factors in YBC's decision. Find out more here:

Five completely trivial but fun facts to boggle your mind. The theme for this edition of 'S.O.S' is chocolate. Did you know:

• A single chocolate chip provides sufficient food energy for an adult to walk about 50 metres, hence, it would take about 875,000 chocolate chips fo fuel an around-the-world hike.
• Chocolate syrup was used for blood in the famous 45 second shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's movie, "Psycho" which actually took 7 days to shoot.
• Chocolate has over 500 flavor components, more than twice the amount found in strawberry and vanilla.
• Chocolate can be lethal to dogs because it contains Theobromine, an ingredient that stimulates the cardiac muscle and the central nervous system.
• The Swiss consume more chocolate per capita than any other country in the world - more than 10kg per person per year on average.
