I remeber a few years ago of a metal house being built but I think it was a complete disaster as it was a pre-fab but not structurally sound if I'm correct? At any rate I'm still looking for any experiences someone may have had with this type construction,cost,successfulness and any contractors in the area that can do it at a reasonable fee.Looking for a singles story long,maybe 80'x25' with 12' over hang on sunny side.Thanks for any info. you can provide?SammyG :shock:

Company in Vientaine doing fram cad steel homes, delivered to udon , only has a fram cad site up but can supply frame for kit home cladded, any one going over there might like to investigate, I will check out his operation next time in Udon, Stel a better light weight cooler solution than the red brick render system, if the operator gets it right there will be a good market here for the system

This thin steel construction has much less room for error than other methods.
But there are some good sources on the Internet give detailed guides to rolled steel frame construction and design.

Other guides give very detailed instructions on where every length should be and every joint should be made.

Hi, I worked as architect in Los Angeles, CA for a while and just came back to Thailand.
I am familiar with light gauge steel framing and was surprised that we don't use it here.
It is more appropriate to our climate than concrete. You can insulated the wall, wiring and plumbing is hidden.
Anyway, I'm helping my friend's company who is launching pre-fab, pre-engineered light gauge steel framing system.
It is a kt actually, they are made to order, pre drilled, labeled and you just put them together.
The system is from New Zealand. We are in Bangkok by the way.
Anyone interested, shoot me an email. I'm interested to hear what you think.
