Why not these steel buildings?
I realize that it conducts heat and moisture down the beams, but can't that be compensated and worked on with great ventilation, which is needed anyway?

Look at the resource page also.
There are roof vents and insulation, withstands wind loads, hail, rain, ease of maintence, not to worry about termites, inside can be finished to look like any stick house, same as the outside if wanted.
Can put windows and doors just the same as usual and supposedly costs less than stick home. Especially since it looks like an owner builder could put it together themselves more easily too!
Thank you for all information and replies,
