Part 2/10:
The traditional reasoning for wood's widespread use in construction often emphasizes its efficiency. Unlike heavier and more permanent materials like concrete or steel, wood is lightweight, relatively easy to handle, and can often be sourced locally. An individual can, with just basic tools, construct a wooden structure independently. This level of accessibility and the ability to rapidly assemble homes has made wood a popular choice, especially in a country where land is plentiful and timber is an available resource.
