Grand Junction CO. I’ve been doing metal stud framing since 2016. I’m 23 Y.O. It’s mostly commercial jobs besides personal home owner jobs.

I am getting ready to build my home out of steel framing. Cheapest option and easy to install on a small home like mine (single story. Less than 1500 sqft, simple layout and lean-to roofing)

My Dad built some early (for area) metal home buildings in Sothern California and used Thermosteel from a company in Canada. Special made galvanized steel framing studs with unique truss design to stop thermal transfer. Only made 2 houses before company went belly up for whatever reason. But both houses are still standing today and have had zero issues. Very low cost fire insurance as everything used to build it was fire resistant. Metal studs in these videos look so light and flimsy in comparison. still have some of the material, but can't find any reference online, truly dead company.

I work for a business called design horizons and we do similar stuff you should look into us and see if this is the same materials

This is cool

In Europe we only use this type of framing, but there are other profiles as well…

Metal weakens in a fire much quicker than wood. Metal buildings need to be fire protected by fire resistant isolation for fire resistance. I have seen numerous examples of that as a firefighter and police officer.

A safety factor of greater than or equal to 2 is usually sufficient since it'll typically only lose 50% of its strength in your run of the mill fire. Many things are designed with a safety factor of greater than 2. But obviously not everything

All beams are sprayed with fireproofing on commercial buildings, the drywall framing, what we're looking at here is lined with non flammable insulation, not many flammable things in a building to get a rager going

I like the idea of metal framing. I have always been suspicious of wood based framing popularity in the US, and the claims from the logging industry that it is sustainable. If we make it out of green steel this would be much more environmentally friendly than wooden houses.
