        "text": "Choosing between wood and steel framing depends on several project factors. Wood framing is often more cost-effective for residential projects, easier to cut and modify on-site, and provides better insulation properties. Steel framing is preferred for its superior strength, fire resistance, and resistance to pests and moisture, making it suitable for commercial applications or areas with specific environmental concerns. Considering the long-term benefits and project budget helps determine the optimal material for your interior walls.",
