Answer:
In the past people used a natural material wood for buildings because it is relatively lightweight and unlike steel, easy to cut. It's also easy to add decorative elements to wood constructions to increase curb appeal. The disadvantages to wood construction include vulnerability to water damage, fire, decay, and termites.
Stone's also used as it will not face any challenges. It is also resistant to bending, wrapping, splintering, denting, and even swelling all of which contribute to its durability. The strength and even weather resistance of the stone contribute towards this factor. The aesthetic look that can be obtained from stone gives it an edge .
