What is the advantage of building with a timber load-bearing structure compared to building with a masonry load-bearing structure?

The advantages of building structures with a timber load-bearing structure are the speed of construction, year-round construction, dry construction allowing occupancy immediately upon completion of the works, state-of-the-art materials and construction technology, superior energy efficiency – the entire cross-section of the building envelope is filled with insulation – and construction systems optimised for different regions.
