so...has anyone worked with starting with a steel structure as a house?
Yes, but not hard core industrial.
Its more minimalist with slender columns and roof structures so we had no choice but to use steel.
However, because I am a contractor and because I can weld, it cost me bugger all extra, apart from the crane hire, but then I did stuff like weld/build the whole roof structure on the ground and then crane it into position, so I saved in other ways like scaffold hire.
But then, I always built the stuff that was different. I hate sheeple and their McMansions
