Man of Steel

Steel frame construction... been looking at it ever since I got back from lunch. I think that's the way to go, as it allows wide spans without vertical supports on the lower levels. ie walls are non-strucutral entities.

Apparently the cost of the raw materials for construction are lower than traditional wood framing, but you pay for (1) fabrication and (2) bringing in a crew to put it together.

The good thing is, a steel frame home can be erected in just a few days, as opposed to the weeks for a traditional wood home.

..back to it..
