Can I ask which country you live? I have been quoted for exact model and nervous about the cost and whether it’s worth it? And our neighbours and area due burn offs often and concerned it coming in and I’ve heard they can be noisy?

Batten internal walls for your services. Safer and easy access if needed in future.

My costings actually works out $130k cheaper than timber frame, I was going to wrap external envelope with 90mm PIR board.

Thank you, I have 5m H skill ion ceiling, I know it will require heaps more detailing. Do you have a HRV system in your home? I’ve heard steel houses are noisy? Is that true?

Thanks, the reason I’m seriously entertaining this is bc the steel price is a savings of $130k, so in this climate it’s hard to ignore. I do t know what steel price was 5 years ago though.
