Why? To ensure that it's biodegradable? I can see the idea of build with wood as a part of colonisation, assuming that we can make trees grow. That would still mean seeding a forest 30 - 50 year (or more), before humans arrive. It seems like it might be faster to start extracting metals, or make some type of concrete. That is especially true if the forest needs human intervention to grow and produce usable timber.
