Cold formed steel offers competitive pricing in comparison to wood.
However, it is important to consider more than the upfront price. Though wood is one of the cheapest building materials you can use, it is highly vulnerable to water damage, termite infestations, and lacks energy efficiency.
This leads to significant expenditures on repairs and preventative measures over time. Cold formed steel has a much longer lifespan, requires little maintenance or repair, and is one of the most sustainable building materials.
