Usually lurk here.. but had to chime in on this one. My brother is a contractor and for the last 12 years he has been building Schools and Churches.
He has totally sold me on steel. He too says the wood thing is archaic. When I brought up the fact that the house would be in a tropical environment and what about rust? He makes the analogy of container ships and how they pretty much operate in a tropical environment. Pound for pound after shipping etc.. I think it might be cheaper.
Blessings,
