5 Things to Know Before Buying Light Steel Frame House

Buying a steel frame construction home - General discussion

I first built steel frame house way back in with what was then Taylor Woodrow.
It was a trail which in the end came out as too expensive.
We had issues with the build as it is a major problem to alter it if something isn't fitting on site.
Also there were issues with fixing to the frame and the staircases not fitting due to incorrect storey heights.

From a buyer's point of view a steel frame new home should be much better than timber frame -no shrinkage, steel does not rot, house less likely to catch fire, walls are not bowed etc etc

I cannot envisage the steel frame expanding and contracting with heating and cooling because of where it is and insulation.
I cant see any mortgage lender worrying about r sale value either. It will depend more on what the house looks like and where it is and how many rooms etc as with any other home. 

The few steel frame houses I built were steel frame with bracing with insulation in between and a brick outer skin and plasterboard inner skin.

When do you want to have your building delivered.  In years past, we quoted most buildings to have drawings completed in 2 weeks and the building delivered 6 weeks after that for an 8 week total turn around.  We wish we could get back to those days.  With the huge demand on steel mills and steel products in general since , we have seen lead times continue to get longer and longer.  As of the end of July we can offer two options for when you will get your building.  In some locations we can offer 14-16 weeks, in other areas it's 30+ weeks.  Depending on your situation, this may give you the time you need to do your clearing, dirt work, and work through the permit process.  We are always up front with you on what to really expect so that you are not surprised later.
