North America primarily builds homes with **wood** instead of concrete due to several key reasons:
1. **Abundance of Wood**: Historically, the continent has had vast forests, making wood a plentiful, affordable, and sustainable building material.
2. **Cost-Effectiveness**: Building with wood is often cheaper and faster than using concrete. Labor costs for wood construction are lower, and wood is easier to transport and work with.
3. **Adaptability**: Wood-frame homes are more adaptable to the frequent weather changes in North America, such as earthquakes in some regions, as wood is more flexible compared to concrete.
4. **Tradition**: Wood construction has been the dominant method for centuries in North America, and this tradition continues.
Though wood construction may have vulnerabilities like susceptibility to water damage and termites, it remains popular due to these advantages.
