Do you assume that a traditional wood framed house is what\u2019s best for you?\xa0 Granted, stick built houses with traditional wood framing assembled completely on site are by far the most popular type of homes built in the United States.\xa0 More than 82% of new homes built in the US are stick built.\xa0 But there are other types of construction that can result in a quality built home.\xa0 And some of those alternatives can give you a stronger, more energy efficient house that\u2019s quicker to build than a traditional stick built house.\xa0

In this week\u2019s mini lesson, I\u2019ll talk about stick framing, plus go over some the most popular alternatives. \xa0 They include panelized homes, steel framed houses, modular homes, and concrete houses.\xa0 I\u2019ll give a brief overview of each type of construction.\xa0 You\u2019ll probably be surprised by some of the advantages of the alternative\xa0building methods.
