How does the cost of metal construction compare with other types of construction?
A number of factors contribute to the overall cost of construction including labor, complexity, and size. Due to the tenacity of steel products, they require less maintenance and have a longer lifespan, resulting in excellent life cycle costs compared to other building materials. In addition, when designed properly and assembled by skilled erectors, the labor time required can be less than conventional materials resulting in shorter erection times and lower labor costs.
