Housing styles vary according to their architecture. You can pick Ranch style houses, Tudors, Moderns and many others. There are several construction methods that you can use for your house construction. This all depends on what kind of material you want to use for building your house. Now there are also different construction processes that are used to construct houses. This page is a great way to learn about construction types.
First is the Wood Framed Construction. Most have an opinion that this is the simplest type of construction that you can do. Plus, the material is always available in the market and can be customized to the owner's taste. One downside to using wood though is that it is prone to termite infestation and can rot after a few years.
Second is the Steel Stud Construction. This is the second most common framing for houses today. They are almost the same as the first one in terms of how you build it except that you use steel and screws instead of wood and nails. You will love the fact that this second type is not prone to water damages and termite infestation.
Third type is the Log and timber frame construction type. This is a classic construction type. Many people are wary about the maintenance cost of this kind of house though. The wonderful advances in technology has brought some benefits to this type of house particularly the insulated pipings. You cannot argue about the beauty of this house though. What you need to do is just perform preventive maintenance for the house to serve you well for years.

Ask your contractor about these types if you have any other questions especially when you are building your dream house. It is best that you hire professional contractors when you build your house in order to ensure that you will be doing the right thing. These people will be able to give you excellent recommendations when you tell them the specifications for your house.
