Do these homes require more or less actual wood to build???

@bluehorse888 It is probably a little bit less, because a LOT of the tree is turned into sawdust when they are sawn and planed into dimensional lumber. However, it depends a lot on how heavy the timber in your frame is – sometimes, the design requires very big cross-sections to accommodate the joinery, and of course sometimes people use bigger timber than they need because it looks impressive.
