Today, I am here to answers why it is so important according to my experience. Speed of construction is the main factor while making the project. Other materials may be able to start field work sooner, but the rapid design, fabrication and erection cycle with structural steel will allow the framing system to finish sooner and be available earlier to other trades.
Structural steel has remained the cost leader for construction materials over the past 30 years. And comparative studies indicate that a steel structure engineering including decking and fire protection will typically cost 5% to 7% less than a concrete framing system on a national basis.
Sustainability is structural steel's middle name. Structural steel is the most recycled material on our planet - today's structural steel is made of 88% recycled product, is fully recyclable in the future and can be reused without further processing. Energy used in the production of structural steel has been reduced by 9% in the past 10 years and over 30% in the past three decades.
Building owners and managers are always faced with changing requirements and a composite steel frame can be easily modified to satisfy existing or new tenant changing requirements such as increased floor loads for storage and equipment, new openings for mechanical equipment and vertical shafts for floor-to-floor staircases.
Steel structure buildings optimize building space efficiency through the use of slender columns maximizing useable floor space, longer spans for open, column-free spaces and the integration of HVAC systems into structural spaces allowing reduction of floor-to-floor heights.
