There's an new estate just gone up not far from here, entirely metal-framed houses, They aren't steel, I wouldn't have thought, but they are definitely structural metal...Are you in the UK? We are.
Here, we don't usually ... build steel framed houses.
They don't look it from outside. They look perfectly normal, half-brick, half-render mostly. But that's non-structural. The framework was slotted together in about a day or two per house.0 -

It has to be steel. Unless it isn't metal at all or Kevin McCloud is following them with a TV camera.

We often do talk about real estate. And we tend to like having front and back gardens (rather than "yards" or whatever else foreigners have), and size properties by number of bedrooms rather than square metres.Are you in the UK? We are.
Here, we don't usually talk about real estate or build steel framed houses.
So maybe the OP will come back and tell us what unit of measurement they think they're using...0 -
All right, some of you might talk about real estate, but in my Devonian naivety, I thought that could only be bought & sold through realtors, and we definitely don't have those.
I said we don't usually build steel framed houses, because I know we have in the past. I'm not surprised if we are building some now, considering how fast commercial builds happen.
Point taken about the absence of yards, compounds etc.0 -

Probably galvanised steel or painted with a zinc rich coating. Not uncommon when constructing large, multi-storey buildings using SIPs.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
