I have seen on online home renovation vidoes that people in US houses in India/Pakistan/Bangladesh/Middle East are made of bricks/concrete.

Wood construction is used in North America because wood is cheap and available. It’s also very common to have brick and stucko/ concrete houses. We also don’t have the same high heat and humidity in the more North areas, so wood buildings perform well.
