In recent times steel buildings are becoming a more popular choice among builders. This is because one of the important reasons why steel is preferred is because steel is recyclable, which makes it the more cost-efficient and environmentally sound choice of building materials. Estimates show that steel is 66 percent recyclable, which makes it a better option compared to wood. This is because estimates also show that it would take about 50 well-developed trees to build a two thousand square foot home as compared to using recycled steel which would only amount to about six scrapped cars to build the same house.

Environmental issues have not only taken center stage in debates, as they have also become one of the main concerns of businesses in developing new products. This is very true in the home building industry, where the use of recycled steel as a way of building houses in an environment-friendly way is becoming the preferred option for both homeowners and business owners in meeting their building needs.
