        "text": "The overall cost of an interior finish-out depends heavily on your mechanical system choices, ceiling heights, and finish grades rather than the steel shell alone. Open clear-span designs offer complete flexibility for room placement without load-bearing walls, but tall vaulted ceilings increase drywall, painting, and scaffolding labor. Major cost drivers include ductwork routing through steel trusses, running underground plumbing lines before or through the slab, and the quality of interior cabinetry and flooring. Choosing standard ceiling heights in private rooms while keeping vaulted ceilings in common areas is an effective way to balance budget with open aesthetics.",
