### Instruction: What are options for materials to build a house?
### Response: Depending on your geographic location, different materials will be available to you. Typical construction materials include brick, cement, concrete, gravel, steel and lumber. In the United States, it is very common to see houses built with lumber since this material is readily available, however in other regions in the world such as Europe and Latin America, it is very common to see use of brick, concrete and steel for a typical house.
