I haven't seen this at the job sites I've been on. Most of the wasted wood is a small pile of cuttings from the oddly sized parts of the build, but it's surely less than 5% of the whole build, probably even less than 1%. Any scraps more than a foot long will usually get used for something.
The incentives are aligned here, contractors don't want to buy more wood than necessary.
