This book is all about how steel frame homes are both affordable and available. And this short eBook defines BIM (Building Information Modeling) leading to a Bill of Materials (BOM) then producing a Materials Shopping List so that all the essentials to complete a home are listed. These homes of 1200 square feet or less, often referred to as ADUs in America, are of much higher quality than timber framed homes. They can be built by a DIYer, or as a hybrid build with Trade Contractors or built by a General Contractor. Regardless of your choice a FrameUpNow cold framed steel home can be built for 1/2 the cost of a traditional timber framed home. Read this book for a complete education on the modern method of building with cold formed steel also know as light steel framed homes. Every home has a complete Bill of Materials that we refer to as a Materials Shopping List. This book offers the Home Depot Materials Shopping List as download so you can shop before you buy
