This looks like the US. For someone from outside the US, this might be very interesting, because it’s very different than what you might see in other countries, especially in Europe, where everything is brick and mortar inside and out.
Yes, there are areas of Europe where wood is the main building material, like in Finland and Norway, because wood is so abundant. Same in northern Sweden. In southern Sweden, it’s mostly brick and mortar.
Yep. When I built my house, at this stage there were concrete foundations, a 20cm concrete floor, 37cm thick brick walls and another 18cm of concrete for the first floor… floor. Buildings in the US always look so flimsy.
Odd, never knew that homes in europe were built the way they are. Just did some reading about it and it’s vastly different to here in Australia where we do it like this photo - concrete slab then build a frame of the house from wood/steel, do all the plumbing/wiring/etc, then either brick or wood around the frame.

Hmm, must be different from region to region within Europe. Wood is a popular building material in Finland, at least.

Houses with a wooden/steel frame can still have brick walls.
Because they are. Cheap flimsy cardboard buildings
