Steel vs Concrete House. Which Is Better?

[@hangingamihan4078]

Clearly, Slater’s work ethic is a reflection of his father’s practice, wisdom, and transparency. The family is into steel construction, yet, Slater objectively discussed the pros and cons of steel. If ever Scottie, Sevi, and/or thirdy would be an engineer someday, magiging maayos siya/silang engineer!

[@shets7988]

As a structural designer, I hope future homeowners and house contractors learn from this.

[@amazingbarley3851]

I am amazed by you and your dad's story sir Slater. Nakaka amaze na ang tagal na ng Dad ninyo sa business.. Next content suggestion : how did you guys started? young entrepreneur here

[@clarence__]

Kakalesson lang Po namin Ng reinforced concrete vs steel and this video pops up, it really widened my mind. Thanks papsie Slater🤍

[@ENGR-DPC]

I remember the RC and Steel topic when I was reviewing pa in Cebu. The topic was basically a cracking moment where in the instructor was talking a lot of the equivalent strength of steel in a concrete dimension. That a small steel when converted into a concrete it is quite bigger when it comes to strength. But when concrete is converted in steel it is quite small when talking about strength.

[@ENGR-DPC]

@@exia4171 Hi! sir, Mahal po talaga yung steel compare to concrete. But we design our structures base on some categories: Safety Economical aesthetic (Beauty of the structure)

[@arniegv]

As usual, always have the best content and simple explanation. Kudos sir!

[@ksspguam]

. I am planning to build a house and in the process of researching the most cost effective way to build it. My dream house…Thank you very much for sharing.

[@tenshimallows174]

As a civil engineer, I am really inspired and I really learn a lot from all your videos, thank you Engr.!

[@MyAnjs]

As usual, meron na naman akong natutunan from Sir Slater. Thank you so much po. Wala ako sa construction industry pero enjoy tlga ako sa mga ganitong videos. Favorite ko ang channel nyo. God bless.

[@MyAnjs]

Keep it up po sir. God bless.

[@ahbinjae5651]

I LOVE IT HOW SLATER EXPLAINS THIINGS .

[@clipendo]

Sana makagawa po ng content regarding fences, types, that are more or less specailly inexpensive for empty lots na matagal pa bago lagyan ng bahay. Thank you po.

[@jamesdaryllgonzales4045]

The audio is 🔥🔥🔥 really crispy, feels like im listening to a ted talk

[@gerardtolero7378]

true quality is 🤌

[@oofiee8833]

cold rolled steel are starting to get more popular also, with its light weight properties it makes construction faster than hot rolled steel.

[@glendaburbano7399]

One of my dream, concrete/steel house even tho its very expensive, pero sa nangyayari sa atin ngayon baha, bagyo lindol.. thata the concern ,thanks for this content sir slater.. always hands down to you

[@nouvada]

Brilliant! The switching languages is awesome as well. So authentic and anyone in construction around the world who works in a multinational team will get the vibe

[@kizitodaniel3736]

Thank you for your breakdown, your explanation is very elaborate and gives a honest view which is helpful in helping us make the decision

[@ataletobetold7582]

I've often dreamed of building a home that would last as long as possible, with the least maintenance, and still look traditional. A Victorian farmhouse style with a wrap around porch, a slate roof, steel framed ICF block walls about 18 inches thick, and concrete fiber siding that looks like old-fashioned wood siding. Would love it if someone made a video about this type of construction and if it's even possible. Thanks for this video. It was very interesting!

[@Beyond3Generations]

thanks for sharing this .

[@kc5169]

These are exactly the kind of construction videos the Philippines needs. How about a video on different types of roofs.

[@jimmoca2182]

As a bonus I got me a nice lesson learning tagalog too salamat😊

High quality content *chef's kiss

[@muntingmagsasaka9056]

Agree!!! Yung mga construction barracks namin steel,ung iba steel container tapos lagyan ng insulation, ok na. Kaya sa mga planta steel structure lahat para pag may modification eh madali lng. Pero kung bahay eh no.1 option is concrete, pero kung meron ka naman at may legit kang kilala/alam na gagawa ehdi go😂

[@odlanorirom]

…i’m planning to construct an industrial inspired house elevated on steel beams…roof trusses will be metal tubular, exterior and interior walls will be eps panels (if it would endure the elements)…and lots of insulation…

[@brandonangelodiaz8854]

Even if I have watched this months ago, I went back again to get to know quick insights between steel and concrete. And since we are planning to re model our ancestral house, I am deciding if what is the best foundation that will last a very long time. We are situated centro in our town here in the province of La Union, and we have the mountains on the east and the sea to the west. My priority is a strong foundation from the ground up and design for me is just second to this aspect. Since we recently experienced 6 straight typhoons in just a month, and even if the house did not budged a bit, I still worry that our house might get damaged in time. Our house is 2 floors, with a concrete base, old wood wall foundations on the 2nd floor with wood flooring above the ceiling from the ground floor and the roof is already old. And our house was more than partially renovated 30 years ago so the integrity worries me a lot and even if the renovation was thoroughly built, 30 years will truly weaken the structural integrity and materials before are not like the modern materials now that are more durable and innovative.

[@ryanhinlayagan8975]

Thank you. This video is very helpful. More power Sir!

[@jacepro2827]

you should do a vlog regarding your dad and your family's business. good job explaining it too slater!

[@JayceeMartin-xl3gm]

Hi Slater, great content as always! Thanks!

[@feraskiki655]

bro, your video seems good, but I cannot understand because you keep speaking other language. Either provide subtitles, or make a dub alternative so we understand.

[@jsnmad]

I appreciate the knowledge shared. It helps in decision-making.

[@Shermug]

All you’re videos are very informative, learned a lot of things..

[@graemescebuphilippines363]

Hi Slater As New Zealand Builder (retired) I used 3 materials Timber Steel Concrete. General use of steel factory houses timber and concrete Our Cebu house is Concrete and steel. However in Cebu Concrete is definitely the preferred material. But I love steel fast to build with . When it comes to steel Filippo welders believe a tack is a weld however I would use more bolts . The other thing I noticed on our subdivision the use of to smaller steel far to ligh for the loadings 😊

[@thechriswhewell]

I'm considering Light Steel Framing for our forthcoming house in Bohol because the walls can be insulated, whereas concrete has a huge thermal mass to dissipate through the night. I'm also going to build Australian style, with a 4m wide verandah all the way around, and a roof thickness of 450mm, stuffed full of rockwool insulation and topped with solar panels. Underneath, to help with the sloping lot, there will be a concrete 'box' beneath the main living rooms - something that avoids those rooms being in direct contact with the hot earth below. I'm hoping to minimise the need for aircon. What do you think of that? Is there any other way you would consider building such a structure? Obviously timber is out in the Philippines because of the termites, and CHB are next to useless, particularly if made on site. But I would be interested in knowing what you think.

[@graemescebuphilippines363]

​@thechriswhewell Hi I do like the concrete as the main frame rather than steel to the fact earthquake and typhoon plus steel has the corrosion aspects as well. Definitely roof truss needs to be steel. I do like Rockwool insulation. When it comes to the walls AAC blocks seems to be a trend. For me hollow blocks seems be quite good as they add 30 or 40mm plaster inside and out with concrete in fill giving good insulation. The big problem is windows and ranchsider single glass and low quality. Bohol is loverly location but limited suppliers . Compared to Australian electric standards Philippines is way behind and for me I prefer RCD with earth ground and I hate the fact that no switch to power outlet. Definitely include surge protection. With solar I would still have aircons during the day free. Good luck with your build

Great info. Specially to us na wala masyadong idea when it comes to construction Hoping to watch sir slater explaining the process and fee's getting a building permit

[@MyRealEstatePhilippines]

Awesome video. Very precise on everything!

[@Aqualastic]

For what I’ve noticed, steel and precast concrete combination is the more efficient solution for building and home construction in the Philippines, it’s typhoon, earthquake, termite and fire proof. It’s what mega factories in the west are made of. If we could only have more suppliers in this industry that could offer more affordable prices, this could become a commonplace structures in PI.

[@danecaracena]

this is very informative. thank you, Slater.

[@thegreatgatsby2738]

My house is reinforced concrete. It's rebar with concrete blocks so 21% stronger than poured concrete. 1.5 ft concrete rebar foundation, so house is 1.5ft off the floor. A great thing about rebar with concrete blocks is its super energy efficient. When its super hot, it traps cold air in the house longer than drywall houses, and when its cold it traps warm air in the house for longer, so we don't need to use ac as much compared to a drywall house. ALSO hurricanes, drywall houses are super dangerous if your in a hurricane prone area, my house is a bunker man, even the roof has a mix of wood frames with steel and a bit of concrete blocks, "wood frames are used to frame the roof with steel covering the wood and concrete blocks on all sides".

[@edwinlayron8585]

Thanks for sharing this video God bless 🙏

[@justinvittoriomanalo4265]

Very informative and well made video. 👌 However, its proper to use “reinforced concrete” sa title and when referring to concrete with reinforcement, which is mostly what you are describing in your video.

[@pipolebnene]

Can you do a video on how to save costs with examples when building a house on a budget with concrete? I am from lebanon and i think we build similar to you guys. I also feel like bali design houses are cheap from looking at it since they dont need alot of tiles and use the concrete floor and alot of benches and kitchen islands etc made of concrete. Thank you

Slater always said he is more on details and always base on standard.. so if you are not slater you can build in concrete a year but if you are slater it takes that years, where you will see the quality, concrete had time frame to make it stable, where steel is just a ligo...less in building structure more on time in details for archi works
