Durability:
Steel offers the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material, resulting in safer structures with less need for maintenance, and a much longer life-span than conventional cement structures.

It is also resistant to moisture expansion or contraction, and so maintains its building dimensions . Because steel is an inorganic material, it will not rot, warp, split, crack or creep like other materials, nor is it vulnerable to termites, any type of fungi, or other pests, offering huge benefits to a home.

Safety:
It is significantly resistant to the elements, and with regard to earthquake safety, is ideal for building in areas with high seismic activity due to its lightness and resilience, resulting in much lower transmission of seismic force.

Steel is non-combustible, and therefore will not contribute fuel to the spread of a fire. It is wind-resistant due to its method of construction, using screws versus nails to form stronger joints. 

Its quality is entirely consistent and produced in strict accordance with national standards, so there are no regional variations.

Environmental Benefits:
Steel is 100% recyclable, this resulting in numerous advantages. Through the basic oxygen furnace manufacturing process, steel framing uses a minimum of 25% recycled steel.

Steel recycling programs reduce the solid waste stream, saving landfill space and conserving natural resources. Every ton of steel recycled saves 1,114 kilos of iron ore, 635 kilos of coal, and 55 kilos of limestone. It also saves the annual equivalent of electrically powering about 1/5 of the households in the United States – about 18 million homes – for one year.

In 1998, 88% of the steel taken from commercial construction demolition sites in the US, was recycled, as were over 12 million cars (enough to circle the earth over 1¾  times.)

Easy Building Material to Use:
Building with steel hugely benefits the builder by doing away with many common punch list items, as well as design problems. 

It allows for faster building as there is no drying time as with cement construction. It assures straight walls and square corners , and allows doors and windows open and close smoothly.

It is lighter and easier to assemble than other framing materials, and there is no need to cull or sort supplies as the quality is uniform. This also means there is less scrap and waste (2% for steel vs. 20% for lumber). Not only does this make it far more cost-effective, but provides another environmentally positive product  enhancing any green, eco-friendly perspective.
