Revolutionizing Modern Construction: Why Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) Framing with Deepblue Smarthouse is the Future
In today’s construction industry, the choice of materials significantly impacts project cost, durability, and sustainability. Cold-formed steel (CFS) has emerged as a superior alternative to traditional wood framing. Its unmatched strength, resilience, and sustainability make it the ideal choice for modern buildings. Deepblue Smarthouse takes it a step further, offering CFS framing at an incredibly competitive price—just $10 per square foot.
In this blog, we’ll dive into:
The advantages of CFS framing over wood framing.
Why Deepblue Smarthouse’s CFS solutions stand out.
How Deepblue Smarthouse is transforming the construction industry with affordability and innovation.
Cold-Formed Steel vs. Wood Framing: Cost and Value
When comparing construction materials, cost is often the first factor considered. While wood may appear cheaper at first glance, the hidden costs reveal a different story.
Insurance Costs:
Wood-framed structures face higher insurance premiums due to fire risks, pest susceptibility, and potential water damage.
Long-Term Maintenance:
Wood structures require regular repairs, including protection from rot and termites. These costs can significantly increase over a building’s lifetime.
A study by the Steel Framing Industry Association (SFIA) shows that once construction insurance premiums are factored in, the cost gap between wood and CFS framing shrinks to less than 1%. Now, consider that Deepblue Smarthouse offers CFS framing at just $10 per square foot—far below the industry average for steel—making wood framing no longer the budget-friendly option it once seemed.
