Metal Buildings

My current building design is based on using a prefab metal building as the structure. It has become clear to me that for a variety of reasons the interior finish walls will be on an independent stud wall system. See below image from the Rhodes Building Systems blog.

• Good overview about Sustainable Metal Buildings from the Continuing Education Center

• Detailed Assembly Instructions from Worldwide Steel Buildings, who have an excellent website, and also a video about metal homes.

• Insulation Information from Rhino Steel Building Systems, who also have a good site

• I did a test building on Rhino buildings to see the cost

• Blog post about DIY

This article on Metal Roofing and Costs has this cost information:

Cost Information – Part 1

Metal siding has a price range of $5.00 to $35.00 per sq. ft. installed.

Note: the above cost range covers 4 different material options:

• Steel is usually under $10.00 per sq. ft. installed, unless going with architectural grade material or design options.

• Aluminum is usually under $12.00 per sq. ft. installed, unless going with architectural grade material or design options.

• Zinc comes in at around $10.00 to $20.00 per sq. ft.

• Copper is the most expensive option that goes up to $20.00 to $35.00 per sq. ft. installed.

I am curious about ZAM (Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium Alloy) coatings for metal. The company website is here. What does it look like unpainted?
