Competitive Metal Framing quotes?

[jayc89]

I desperately want to use MF for some stud walls that I'm going to be building soon, but from what I've seen online, it's coming out ~ 50% more expensive than using timber. 

Am I looking in the wrong places? Who's generally the cheapest for MF parts?

You save on the labour. Get quotes for supply and fit if it's a big enough job. If you're doing it DIY when there's no cost saving.

I look at the MF I bought and didn't use (until now!) and smile, I then look over at a pile of timber that is only good for noggins, short pieces the fire because it all twisted up as it dried out.  

 

I've only used it for my en-suite but am quite impressed with the speed and ease, once I'd watched a few youtube videos.

But three times quicker 

Manx twice as straight

I don't know about MF but I use Fastbuild supplies for all of my brickwork sundries and they are well priced.
