The benefits of steel framed house construction
Steel is becoming an increasingly popular construction material, offering a number of advantages when building houses. Here are some of the reasons why steel is the best material for building steel framed houses in York:
If you’re considering building your own home, the cost of the project is likely to be your biggest concern. Whilst it’s difficult to compare the cost of steel vs wood on a like-for-like basis, building with steel helps to cut construction costs as all components are designed and manufactured off-site, ready to be assembled. In addition, as precision manufacturing techniques are used, there is chance of error, helping to reduce delays in the construction process.
We know that environmental impact and sustainability are important to our customers and choosing a steel framed house is a great way to make the most of this environmentally friendly material. As the demand for timber increases so does deforestation and using steel offers the perfect alternative, whilst steel is also thought to produces less waste in comparison to timber.
