Re: Steel vs Timber Pricing 4Oct 25, 2021 10:12 am Jacinta Not sure where you are building, but in Sydney the rough prices for timber V steel are as follows: 1. Timber 90x45mm F5 frames cut on site with a 19mm yellowtongue floor - 12 months ago we were paying around $125/sqm on average, now around $240-250/sqm ( when you can find the timber 2. Steel - Depending on the design and the company we are getting prices as low as $155/sqm up to $210/sqm. If I were you, I would get my builder to send you plans to a company such as GNL and get them to price the supply and installation of Truecore frames. I used to be like you, madly in love with timber, but now that we have been forced to look into steel, I personally feel that steel has so many advantages and I dont think we will be going back to timber any time soon. Anyway Jacinta, I hope this helps with your decision process, but again, get your plans out to some framing companies so you have some actual quotes, rather then relying on guestimates Cheers Simeon Architectural Homes & Duplexes - specialising in custom designing homes to your budget Get a Free Onsite Consultation Today or send a PM for information, questions or advice.
