Clothing, food, housing, and transportation are major events in people's lives, and housing, as one of them, is the most concerning topic for us. However, our understanding of modern steel structure villas is still at a relatively low level. The comprehensive cost of light steel structure houses is significantly higher than that of traditional brick and concrete structure houses. Due to the short introduction of steel structure villas in China, they were initially only used for temporary construction. Many people think that steel structure villas are more expensive than brick and concrete structure houses, and there are also many people who think that steel structure villas are very similar to prefabricated houses and do not conform to our cultural concepts. Therefore, they are relatively rare in China.
When we get to know steel structure villas, we often associate them with earthquake resistant resettlement houses. Many people consider new types of houses as earthquake resistant resettlement houses, because steel structure villas are often promoted as safe and reliable houses in disaster areas. Earthquake prone areas have high seismic requirements for houses, so some light steel villa production companies cooperate with the earthquake stricken government to use light steel villas as resettlement houses in disaster areas. Therefore, many people only use them as temporary residences.
