Absolutely. Steel framing is a code approved solution to building construction versus other traditional methods. Steel products are non-combustible/non-flammable, meaning, fire will not spread throughout the structure via the frame as it would in a traditional wood home with wood framing. In a steel framed home, fire is more easily contained to the initial start location, and spreads at a slower pace, allowing more time for you and your family to escape to safety. Also, air quality is a big concern. There are many environmental organizations that recommend building with steel, because it performs best for businesses and homeowners that are more sensitive to chemicals, and must have good air quality control inside their buildings. As far as strengths are concerned, steel is more resilient to earthquake seismic activity, hurricanes with sustained wind pressures, and snow weight with heavy vertical loads.
