Does anyone know about the appropriateness and economic viability of doing a three story office block in cold formed steel sections. I believe this is a popular construction method in some parts of the world. I know there are some proprietary systems but here in Botswana I would be relying on using standard cold formed channels and angles.

Has anyone used this in conjunction with composite steel sheet faced foam panels as insulation and a stressed skin? Carl Bauer
