steel buildings

[Hassin Bin Sober]

2. I would be curious to see the cost difference...

... between a stick-built frame building versus what you are looking at.

I gotta think there is a bunch of mark-up and profit in any of this steel buildings...... but they might make up for it in efficiency.


The insulation piece is probably why I would stick with a conventional frame. They say you can insulate those steel buildings but at what R value?

When I eventually build something like what you are talking about, it will be double framed walls with about 12 inches of cellulose in the cavity. And truss roof filled high with cellulose.

I have spent my entire adult life in Chicago paying to heat poorly insulated buildings. Anything I build will be heatable by candle.... well maybe fireplace or wood stove.
