I wouldn’t recommend any construction unless it’s an emergency. Lumber prices have skyrocketed beyond belief. Not to mention supply chain bottle necks. This is really a bad time for new construction.
no shortage of trees, agreed..but lumber futures in the last quarter of 2021 went up real high. we also have wildfires in CA(PG&E wont be made accountable) RSG panels(https://www.rsg3d.com/) seem to be fire resistant..to a certain extent. no rain or termite issues. we can build more efficient homes now.
