cost question
we're designing a tower that's cost sensitive. it's 13'x13' & has a radius roof on it, curved one way. would steel or glulams (both curved) be less expensive? thanks.
what is the height of tower and location, soil type
steel would probably be cheaper. however, the selection of glulam may have more to do with what kind of look does the owner and architect want to achieve. the justification would also include whether a separate ceiling will be necessary.
in other words, the selection of the particular system may have more to do with the "look" and less to do with cost. (as long as it doesn't throw the project beyond the budget).
