Steel frame construction / Iso panels! Has anyone realized something like this before?

Good morning,

after having read a lot in this forum over the past months, I would now like to actively contribute.
After many different possibilities of conventional house construction have been discussed by me and my partner,
we have set a loft hall as our ideal living goal. Since I come from the metal industry professionally, the implementation of a steel construction hall, possibly also in lightweight construction, is very obvious. I am very interested to know if any of you know such a project or have even realized one yourselves.
Despite all the advantages of such a hall construction, there are also fundamental disadvantages. Thermal insulation, sound insulation, breathability of the exterior/interior shell, etc.

Constructive criticism is very welcome.

I have deliberately kept the thread title very general.

Thank you very much,

Schröder

only boring little homeowners here?

Hello Schröder,

I come from the hall construction industry and at the beginning of the planning phase I also gave it some thought, but I gave up quite quickly because of my wife since she didn’t like the construction method.

The advantages clearly lie in the open construction and the fast production/assembly compared to the rather long waiting times currently associated with prefab houses. There are large spans and thus an open room design is possible; since no load-bearing walls are necessary, you can also redesign flexibly later on.

However, I would not use sandwich or [Isopaneele] for this; although they score points with low costs and high thermal insulation, you get quite a few disadvantages, besides soundproofing especially the replacements for windows, doors, etc. are quite elaborate and difficult to make properly airtight. Inside you still have to cover it, and loud noises in summer, especially in the roof, are hardly avoidable.

I would have used a steel skeleton, the walls made of aerated concrete panels (+ [WDVS]), precast concrete ceilings, flat roof made of aerated concrete, alternatively trapezoidal sheet with cladding.

Best regards,
Sebastian
