Maybe someone with more local knowledge can correct me, but I am under the impression that most homes in Sweden, Finland, and Norway are made out of wood.

They, like Canada, have a convenient source of wood in the boreal forests.



Single family houses are typically wood framed, yes. Exterior differs, wood planking and brick are probably the most common.

Multi-story buildings in cities are typically prefabricated concrete modules, sometimes clad in brick, sometimes just painted.


Wiod yes, but as far as I understood, well isolated, which was the point a few posts up I think.
