Things to Discuss

At our next meeting, we need to discuss some options for the house, including materials for siding and roof.  In terms of siding materials, I'd be interested in knowing what the architect/builders would recommend.  I've been interested in concrete fiber board.  We'd like something durable and relatively low maintenance.  As for the roof, I've been interested in a steel roof.  I'm willing to consider other options, with durability, low maintenance and energy efficiency as important features.  Neither Mike nor I are fond of the look or other features of a wood roofing materials.  We'd like to hear more about other alternatives that we might not have considered.
