The US is the odd one out... I completely see why you'd make a temporary building out of wood so that you can build it in just a few days.
But if this is a house, expected to last 150 years plus, and you're already bringing lots of bricks to the site, you really ought to be using the bricks to hold the building up and reserving the wood for the internal floors and other things that will be replaced every 75 years.
