This house, built in Toronto Canada, has its structural support made from Pre Engineered Steel. The floors are then concreted, with the heavy concrete slabs being supported by the steel structure.
This lowers the cost of construction considerably.
The recent collapse of the Precious Talent school along Ngong road was an attempt to use timber as the support structure for concrete 1st floor slab to save on cost. If the developer used steel instead, this could have saved lots of life since steel is much stronger and lasts longer.
