Im pretty sure the bricks you talk about in the beginning are made of clay. They are here in Wisconsin anyway we had a clay brick factory nearby from the early to mid 90s a lot of houses here still have those old brick foundations
Project Manager whose built many homes. First, if your framing crews are taking significantly longer than 1 day to frame walls on one level for a typical home then you're getting ripped off. Also one thing of note: OSB board is shit for sheathing walls compared to using plywood sheathing. Yes...foam gaskets are required at the sills to stop air flow.
Sorry but I totally disagree with you on Stick construction vs Block or Brick construction. We built my brothers house, which was a rather larger home. I want to say somewhere between 3,000 - 4,000 square ft and we took it from the pad up to the 2nd floor, roof ready in 1 day with 6 people. Block/Brick construction takes much more skill in making sure the wall are straight. So you need people who know what they are doing, as opposed to stick construction, where as long as there is one person on site who knows what they are doing, the rest just need to have basic tool skills, hammer, saw, etc. You also don't need to be constantly mixing mortar as you do with block/brick construction. So I disagree that a block/brick constructed home is faster than a stick home.
I have never laid block so I cannot really comment, I can only go by what I see happening around me here in Florida. As for Stick frame, if you are doing simple exterior walls then yes you can get it done in a day, but on an average home with a bit more complexity, to get from Slab to Rafters all sheathed, I have seen take 1 to 2 weeks (Including interior walls)

I"m sure you are following the Build Show channel with Matt Risinger. In terms of building science and top notch construction, they are my reference.
I have been for years now
They build houses like this in many different Countries. There are codes depending weather.

Bros reacting to a reaction
Kinda like inception :)
But without the creativity or originality @@DarthTigger

I agree that Plywood is better than OSB in pretty much every way, but unfortunately I have seen far worse than OSB used as exterior sheathing.
