No material wins every project. The comparison must include the entire wall, floor and roof assembly, climate and maintenance plan.
Steel and lightweight concrete compared with timber and OSB
A practical comparison of durability, moisture behaviour, mass, acoustics, fire strategy and on-site coordination. A good decision is based on a complete specification, not a render or a starting price.
No material wins every project. The comparison must include the entire wall, floor and roof assembly, climate and maintenance plan. A responsible proposal must show the complete construction build-up, not only the visual finish.
