But it doesn't ever seem like its that simple; there are so many different factors to consider, the type of curtain wall might very well effect the type of floor system used. I always thought that the choices in construction methods would have been documented by now and one could just pull a book off the shelf and be told which path to follow. But from what I hear that's not at all the case. The trouble is that there doesn't seem to be any neatly fixed answers as to why and when to build one way and when to build another way, and what the pluses and minuses are.

material costs, building design and site conditions all make a difference.
