For the installation of all wiring and plumbing pipework, the relevant holes have been predrilled in all the steel sections, saving considerable time. Further, the steel will not burn in a fire. Nor is it susceptible to damage from insects, such as termites, borers, or carpenter ants, making it the ideal construction material for many a less-hospitable environment. Armed with the above information, it should not come as a surprise to learn that dwellings with a steel skeleton using CFS are increasingly popular for the construction of low-cost, affordable housing. As you read on through this book, you will gain a clearer understanding of why.
