It was considered that laminated wooden trusses would have held up longer than steel, which when heated lost it's strength.

I saw that in 9-11 twin towers, the steel was coated with fireproof insulation - but that is not in these houses. Laminated wood beams burn from the outside inwards -which is a slower degradation of structural strength. They don't melt.

But the story of the steel failing in the warehouse fire demonstrates that the collapse of the twin towers on 911 didn't require the steel to melt. It just had to get hot enough to lose its rigidity (which can be as low as 500 F for some grades of steel) Steel is commonly tempered between 500 F and 750 F. FAR below melting point.

The Wool store is what I am going off, and do realise that was a huge warehouse at an international port. its frame of heavy RSJs. The sight of them all on the ground was impressive. While not an advocate for either steel or laminated timber - it still seems likely that timber would not lose strength through heating. In a house it is unlikely to be laminated and so woods degradation would be a function of how rapidly it burned.

Oh my oh my. In Europe that would not stand an Inspektion and probably is not built to code. I have got a 10 inch thick steel reinforced concrete ceiling in my house. Teo layers of rebar were added weighing several tons! C30/35 concrete which is partly so hard you can hardly cut it even with an angle grinder. Where we sometimes tend to "over-engineer" things - in my opinion many other countries build houses in a way which is maybe good for 30 to 50 years but the majority of those houses will not last several hundred years...

@@kniefi For a family home you have 2 choices, you can either use wood since it's flexibility withstands pretty well an earthquake or you make it with concrete but make sure to use rebar on the foundatioons, on each column and over every wall. Also the rebar must be al least of 8mm and the bricks that make the wall between pillars must be "laying down" (I've seen houses on Brazil ir Perú where the bricks are put "standing"). For reference a normal brick is usually 5x15x25cm. Basically that's it. There's also many regulations to determine the size if the beams (either wood ir concrete) depending on the distance between columns and stuff like that.

The first two methods are really intriguing and seems quick, sturdy and cost-effective. Having just built my house, there is one thing I wonder though... How about sound-proofing?! My house was constructed as are many houses in northwrn Germany with classic cavity wall system. Meaning there is a structural brick-on-brick inner wall. Using limestone in usually 17,5cm or bigger format stones/bricks made from airiated concrete (ytong) then some 140, 160 or even 180mm Mineral wool insulation, the - connected with small stainless steel anchors, there is an outer brick-shell made out of klinker in a variety of colours and materials can range from clay, to ceramic or limestone et cetera. That provides good wheather proofing, excellent sound-proofing and good thermal insulations and is really really heavy. Withstands heavy storms/tornado et cetera. But has two major disadvantages - cracks easily in earth-quake ridden areas plus the walls are rather thick - my outer walls are about 480mm which is roughly 19 inches...

You should make single ended bricks so that the slotted ends don’t show on external faces like you can see on the columns at the end of the video. Spoils the otherwise nice neat lines created by the consistent joints. And to sell more, you need to say how quicker this system is? How much cheaper can you lay the bricks? Do you still pay the brickies a £1 a brick?

In my country we use bricks, and there is nothing better than oven clay bricks, which can stand 200 to 300 years if looked after, however I am convinced that there should be a layer of weather/heat proofing layers, to reduce the heating/cooling costs. In countries where temperature rages fro 40 to 48C in summer, and below 0 in winter, these methods may not last even 30 years without problems.

@Snow Cone Not very many cellars down here. 4 ft to 6 ft down is water level. But our house is reinforced concrete block with poured concrete columns every 10 feet. The second floor floor is Span-deck slabs that also are poured solid and have a minimum of 4 inches of concrete on top of them. A neighbor has a home that including the roof is poured concrete. Do we take Hurricanes seriously, yes we do. Andrew tested ours and it was still standing after the 155MPH winds and at least a couple of small tornadoes hit it.

I would personally want the electrical and plumbing to be exposed, so I have easy access in case it's needed. No need to tear into walls and try to repair that. You can see a leaky pipe faster if it's exposed. And you aren't left with a gaping hole in a wall or ceiling to repair after the plumber or electrician leaves

Hi, pricing is a fair question, I understand. Pricing differs from project to project, kinda hard to give an estimate but from my research prices for these systems are comparable to traditional framing. Steel framing is about 10% more expensive. Now, even if you go on their website you won't find exact pricing because these systems are custom and every build is different. And there are plenty of other variables that go into the final cost, like permits, land, transport, hookups...
