Almost all houses I know of are wood frame construction. What do they use in your neck of the woods?

Various builders have tried to interest buyers in timber frame design but without any great success. Building is a very conservative trade and house buyers are the same.

I have a couple of construction jobs going in that neck of the woods. Cool!

Pretty much what trmoore09 said: almost everything I’ve seen for house construction is wood frame with a brick facia (if any brick at all).
