Oh, one more thing: I think the way people build today is a philosophical question and an attitude of the builders. In the beginning, we "searched" for everything, but then we settled on the wooden house. Maybe also because I grew up in one. When it comes to insulation and consumption, the houses are comparable. We just found the climate in wooden houses more pleasant.

Of course we have our reasons for it. And they are not the ones mentioned. There will be surprises in every construction, and just with the waiting times we have before a wall leaves the factory, a lot of time is lost.

But the wood that is used must bear the loads of the house. The insulation etc. will not bear any load.
Therefore, I asked myself whether with the thinner "beams" the statics are already being saved on in advance here. If I understand Blackm88’s answer correctly, a recalculation is done here and then, if necessary, the beam is made thicker.

No, even with 16 cm beam thickness you get a stiff and load-bearing wall. Just like at the bakery Graubrot for example between wheat and rye, you can also choose between, for example, a classic and an organic wall construction at the prefabricated house manufacturer. Each is then a fixed wall construction in concept and dimension. For the individual project, calculations are more likely done by the carpenter who is regional in the market.

The cheap builders among the prefabricated house providers do not build you a shack, but skimp for example on tile quality, number of sockets, and such. A wall with 16 cm thick beams is not a cheap fake, but has been a proven standard already thirty years ago.

Perhaps more studs per running meter of wall are used with the 16 cm wall, or different wood qualities/sortings are used. However, I lived in a timber frame house for years and never want to do that again.

What exactly do you never need again?

I did not like the climate. Especially in the summer, it got warm faster with strong sunlight. Sometimes it cracked during rapid temperature changes. It was also noisy. In these aspects, our new building is three classes better ([Poroton], faced brick, core insulation according to [Energieeinsparverordnung]).
