Grenfell tower was built with concrete beams not steel.
The lead architect, Nigel Whitbread, said this last year:
"The design is a very simple and straightforward concept. You have a
central core containing the lift, staircase and the vertical risers for
the services and then you have external perimeter columns. The services
are connected to the central boiler and pump which powered the whole
development and this is located in the basement of the tower block. This
basement is about 4 meters deep and in addition has 2 meters of concrete
at its base. This foundation holds up the tower block and in situ
concrete columns and slabs and pre-cast beams all tie the building
together.'

Some photos taken during construction (in that article) also make this
clear.
