Wood works fine for the size and scale of most homes.
It is inexpensive, readily available, and easy to use with minimal training and tooling.
What alternative building material do you propose?

- dnh44 6y agoI think there is a perception that timber houses won’t last a long time. I have no idea how true that is but the brick house I live in is 150 years old and that isn’t considered particularly old. Also even when new builds here are timber framed they still use bricks for the exterior.
