From my impression and exposure to construction it seems the wood construction techniques are different in Europe (to speak broadly) than in the US. Without getting into details it seems European (and also Aussie) carpenters (and "tradies" to also speak broadly) are paid more than their US counterparts. Have also heard a lot of the "best" carpenters and builders in the States are from Europe - this may be slightly outdated info (a few decades) - I had thought this being due to the more "timber frame" -type construction styles in Europe.
