About a month after the foundation piers were poured the package started to show up on site. TekkHaus provided the steel components, which were stamped “Made in Canada,” but at least a few of the beams also had “Made in Spain” on them. Longest one was a little over 44′. In addition to the wide flange (W) steel beams the structural design included a number of flitch beams with 1/4″ steel plates and several Versa-Lams. The amount of steel in the home was driven by the fact that there were a lot of large windows and some long roof overhangs (up to 5′ over fairly long lengths).
