I also live in the EU. It's not foreign to me because I live in Scandinavia where we have plenty of wood. In Scandinavia (and the Baltics and parts of Russia) we build houses largely the same way as they do in North America. Western Platform Framing construction, though lately Swedish Platform Framing is taking over since it has improved insulation and fewer thermal bridges inbetween floors and thus much better for passive houses. I suspect it will take over in North America in a couple of decades. Advanced Framing (which is largely meant to lower costs, but also leaves more space for in-wall insulation since it has 24" studs on center) in the US isn't really taking off that quickly, but maybe we'll see a combination of the two. https://youtu.be/LUthssuOYks?t=262 https://youtu.be/LUthssuOYks?t=262
