It all depends upon structural requirements, environmental conditions, functional requirements, durability requirements and thus cost-benefit ratio.

Even wood can be the best material in some conditions. e.g. houses in flood prone area of Assam.

STEEL: IT IS SUTIABLE FOR A STRUCTURE SUBJECTED FOR HIGH TENSILE STRESS.
