Comments on: Up we go & new things for the area http://www.universaldesignrenovations.com/wordpress/2008/04/12/up-we-go-new-things-for-the-area/ A hands on account of the trials & tribulations we encounter renovating a house for disability access.

The main reason for the steel frame is the termite activity in the area. This is the second time I have renovated this property and the first was due to significant termite damage. If you call up to the site a see John Bennett he can give you the low down. John's background is in both domestic and commercial building so he has a good handle on the economics of a number of systems. There has been no negative feedback whatsoever. Maybe we can get together for an ale or something when the building is complete. Are you in Warne crescent? Alex Rudi,

The only negative I have encountered when asking people about steel frames is that builders say putting gyprock and second fix items on is time consuming compared to timber frame. What do your builders think/say in this regard. Have you had any negative reaction Regards, Rudi I will be looking in on your site again especially as you are using a few things I thought about in planning our own house(only have the land so far ,actually one street away from your construction site)
