The affordability of a steel frame house depends on various factors. The overall cost is not solely determined by the building materials. It depends on other factors such as labour costs, transportation costs, permits, and the building’s size and design. As steel is the most durable and robust material available, steel frame homes in Cyprus are more long-lasting than traditional buildings.
Moreover, steel is recyclable, saving on material costs, as old steel can be melted and reformed to create new steel beams and other steel components. Compared to traditional houses, steel-framed buildings are erected in a short time. So, when making a cost comparison, it’s important to consider the overall lifespan of the building, the cost of materials, the cost of labour, and other construction-related expenses to make an informed decision.
