        "text": "You can finish the interior, but you should plan structural attachments and insulation early. Red iron or cold-formed steel frames expand and contract slightly with temperature shifts, so interior framing must accommodate this movement. Installing a thermal break and a vapor barrier behind the metal wall panels during the initial shell erection is critical to prevent interior condensation. Planning your plumbing rough-ins before the concrete slab is poured avoids the need to saw-cut cured concrete later.",
