- prefabricated- quicker, less waste, usually better quality control
- materials are cheaper than most others
-insulation is contained within the depth of the structure
-durable
-less labour needed

Disadvantages.
-cant be use to fully construct a high rise building
-susceptible to catch on fire
-Can rot after many years if not treated
-lower life span
-recyclable
-planning and design stage can take longer as has to be precise
-prefabricated- can be damaged on way to site, takes up room on site for storage
