[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote][/quote][/quote] The only time you would need steel beams is if the span and load is wider/more than engineering tables would allow for a standard wood I-joist. Not having them is not an indication of quality at all. [/quote] Ironically, you say exactly the same think the Evergreen guy told my friend. Do you work for them? I say you ask any structural engineer if the would accept wood posts to hold up their home vs. iron. Yes....you will get the truth! [/quote] No, I don't work for Evergreene. And any reasonable structural engineer will also understand the trade offs of design and cost for residential construction. Sure, if I were building a 20 story structure, I would go with steel. For a standard, two story single family home, that is over kill. I was trying to show the fallacy in assuming that a home without steel was low quality. [/quote]
