The majority of NZ houses are timber framed, often clad in masonry to suggest permanence. Good thermal insulation would be the norm in modern houses. Gypsum wallboard would be the common wall lining.
The masonry cladding is, in New Zealand, an illusion of permanence in the earthquake prone country we have.
The story of the three little pigs invented by the brick industry has a lot to answer for. But it is probably OK in an earthquake free country. Similarly for the phrase bricks and mortar, suggesting quality or permanence. Good marketing, but maybe suspect advice. Similar defects apply to concrete tile roofs.
Roofing of galvanized iron of various forms is very common, and well suited to the climate demands.
