Looks so simple and cheap love it! This is where Ikea meets Lego. I wanna do this somewhere and screw it together by myself. This has got to be the cheapest way to build a house I mean the metal sheets are basically just printed by a computer this is as close to printing your own house in a day as you can get.
The part of Australia I live on, the termites would eat a wood house-up and due to cyclone coding the only options are stud wall framing system or block or brick, a lot of people that live rural buy big sheds and just deck the inside with stud wall framing and live in it
I did researched, designed and constructed it since then in previous employer back year 1990's and did it again here in the Philippines in my other employer back in 2013, a "Bahay Tibay" can be constructed in 24 hours.
Honestly we should have been doing this regardless I don't understand why we never progressed in using different materials for a multitude of reasons but when you actually dig around you find the answer very quickly that it might seem like a conspiracy but construction and insurances are very against non-traditional wood the housing market in itself is very against non-traditional forms this being the structure and shape of the house along with the materials used they make you think that if you build this house it's going to be like a car off the lot and no offense to homeowners but they are very greedy on a fundamental level mostly because they've been sold a lie thinking that housing experience is when you sell it for more profit to gain equity when things were booming that Within 30 to 50 years would be worth five times as much as when they purchased and that more people will be able to afford that housing market with the newer generation well the first part of that was true with inflation cost but isn't really something that was organic and really why would I spend more money on something that's probably rotting away inside the walls but there's things I can't see and if we're just going to talk about Aesthetics I don't want to pay more for a house simply because it's actually all I can afford that doesn't fit my lifestyle and honestly all of this should be devalued for not understanding how people change and making homes that aren't going to fit someone else because they made it permanent the land is really all that's valued
Can cinderblock & steel homes be combined? Between cinderblock & steel which of the two is better? The advantage I notice is that steel can be many stories they use them in skyscrapers after all,but cinderblock can only be one story & any additional stories has to be wood frame.Price wise is steel the most expensive of the two? between steel & cinderblock that is.
Yes but since the vertical steel beams must all be vertical of one another you might want to rethink ur cinderblock idea-make the cinderblock not be responsible for carrying load. Cold formed steel can be used up to six stories.
now make sheets of plastic for the exterior from recycled water bottles, pex tubing, 12v off grid system, and have it shippable as a roughed in unit? prefab most
Steel frame is engineered in the design program generally framers use a mix of 0.55, 0.75 and 0.95, depening on the eng requitments, stud centres and profile of the steel
Definitely cheaper than wood, on so many levels, time, materials, quality, insurance savings, & future equity gain. Metal buildings offer stronger structures that are less prone to deteriorating like wood. You may spend more in materials but it will cost less in labor and you will have backend savings. I will build my house with a metal structure instead of wood.
@@cexy63s so if anything, is it possible these structures are easier to fix? I mean, with wood, you have change the entire beam if there's damage in certain areas where as metal, you can just forge a piece into it. I'm not sure if that's a possibility
It depends on a variety of factors: how the stud was effected, where the problem is in the structure, if it was more than one stud then what is the state of the surrounding studs, etc. But yes depending on the severity of the problem welding is generally a cheaper alternative versus replacing with wood. Just avoid ppl who tell you to spend the extras money to weld in a heavier gauge than the gauge of the effected stud. Heavier gauge not necessary 99.99% of the time Source: I am a PE with a focus on LGS / HSS

Have you ever hear of cement back boards the one normally use on bathrooms well you can use them as well for exterior and interior...way more durable, water and humidity resistant and way but I mean way more harder...and it doesn't spands
You have three chooces: 1. A completely flat slab. 2. A short wall. You will need floor joists. Much more expensive that a flat slab but u can crawl around under the house. 3. Blocks or posts or vertical girders. This lets u park the car under the house.

I've had all my house insulation / soundproofing done this way, it's goes up so quick and is incredibly sturdy, and clean :)
I am doing research on Cold form steel at IIT Guwahati India, I appreciate your work and definately it would be carried out more in future.
Awesome! Could you share what is used for subfloor material? Not OSB. Also where metal floor trusses can be manufactured and purchased?
The best part is you can make it EMP proof if you line it with the right material.
I will contact you guys for a framing proposal when I'm ready to build my home !! Great video & company you have going here!! METAL ALL THE WAYYY
I love this concept. Is rust a concern?
id like to do this with aluminum. can you do a comparison video with aluminum and steel?

Yeah but this is made of steel what u talking about wood?

any tips bro? im trying to build din for my self, using local metal studs here sa atin :)
Nice Job! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
With princess of wood sky racketing in US this is the best option of building.

Metal is still way more expensive.
Trust me that's what I do for a living.
Bad idea to use metal frame in cold and hot states. like Alaska or Florida.
@@emilyrose9854 you heard of a period? It’s what you use to end a sentence. Learn about them. USE THEM! They look like this ->.
@@yurybadanin5035 proper insulation and sheathing should take care of it
How many semi's would it take to ship something like this all built up and ready to be put together?
3 to 4 at most
Probably 1 but two at the most.

How about the purlins?
In which states and cities in the United States can such light steel frame houses be built?
Anywhere wood can be used. However, u may need to educate the inspectors.
now make sheets of plastic for the exterior from recycled water bottles, pex tubing, 12v off grid system, and have it shippable as a roughed in unit? prefab most
What is the guage of the steel used?
Something like this the exterior should be min 16ga and the interior walls can be 18-20ga.
Yeahmon it's a proper look iam checking itout
may i know the thickness of the metal stud? thanks...
Steel frame is engineered in the design program generally framers use a mix of 0.55, 0.75 and 0.95, depening on the eng requitments, stud centres and profile of the steel
@@dw2579 thank you sir.
20 gauge to 12 gauge.
Can I have the BIM? Please
Location, location, location!
I know where it is.
I want to join the team if possible ?
How much just for the raw materials?
About the same as wood.
Did you make your own trusses? i haven't seen a supplier for them.
Yes, we manufacture and assemble everything here in our factory! Wall panels, joists, and trusses.
Trusses are proprietary. The must be made and purchased pre-made. This is due to Engineering requirements. Joists u can do yourself.
How much does this cost
Definitely cheaper than wood, on so many levels, time, materials, quality, insurance savings, & future equity gain.

I know this is a demonstration house but you at least could put in some windows. :)
That's a great idea!
What is the gauge of the steel??
Better be G18 although with so many studs G20 will do.
It’s 18 lol I asked the same question. Cool
The load bearing walls are between 20 gauge and 12 gauge.

Sensational !!!!!
is drywall?
No they don't believe in dry wall. It ruins the views !
How and where are your location?
How are we located? Not sure what you mean. We have our main office in Texas but we have several warehouse and offices throughout the US!

How to setup foundation?
You have three chooces:
1. A completely flat slab.
2. A short wall. You will need floor joists. Much more expensive that a flat slab but u can crawl around under the house.
3. Blocks or posts or vertical girders. This lets u park the car under the house.
HOW MUCH IS IT?
The metal costs about as much as wood but that fluctuates due to demand.
that's a huge overkill structure. why have so many metal beams in such a small house?
They’re relatively light gauge hollow steel studs that effectively replace wood. Nowadays they’re usually cheaper than wood.

How much?
Equal to wood prices.
