In Europe you will still find plenty of wood construction roadblocks. Personal experience : in Belgium a wall that is placed on your terrain edge is considered a common wall and cannot be made using wood.
- brudgers 7y agoThat's generally true in the US as well. The placement of combustible walls relative to property boundaries is constrained by building codes to mitigate the spread of fire via radiant heat from fire on the adjacent property/building. Area separation wall systems [1] are about as close to "wood on the property line" as is allowed. But technically the gypsum board is the wall between structures (and for practical purposes both structures need to be built at the same time).
