About 90% of all new homes built last year were wood framed. The reason for it is because the US is a huge lumber manufacturer. With the amount of forests and available trees around the area its a no brainer. Cheap, strong (to an extent), very easy to obtain since its just about everywhere, and cuts time for building since you're not waiting on supplies for too long

@TexChik cheap back in the colonial times? Yknow.. when trees are literally in every square inch of a mile?
