malaysia weather wet, hot and humid, with termite nearby. 

wiring would be an issue. it will look ugly for wooden house while concrete house u could embedded those wiring inside it. unless if u just want to add wooden layer outside. thats a different story

Altho zinc sheet is cheap, it is loud as fuck when it rains. Fibre cement is quieter but the cost.     

That is wrong. Wooden house is not a good heat insulator. During the day, it will become crazy hot until cannot tahan.

That's why people prefer concrete house. Concrete house tend to be more cooler in a hot day because the heat takes longer to penetrate the house.

That's true but insulated cement roof will still be quieter than insulated zinc.

Not actually pure cement. It's fibre cement roof. Can buy from most construction suppliers.

I've seen acrylic stick on siding for faux stone, brick appearances, quite common nowadays and chinese made ones are available, I believe there must have been faux wood ones.
Something like this: https://www.fauxpanels.com/
Practically maintenence free.

There are wood fiber + cement composite as well, though it was locally produced: http://www.primafibrecement.com/Applications
It wasn't very popular, I heard that it can retain moisture and become soft, unlike the purely cosmetic stick on plastic ones.
I read that there are single-ply membrane as well, but not very much seen on residential build


One thing I like about wooden house is draft, like its more airy and don't feel as humid.

Then pay more for roof tiles lorr...   

Wood is wood. Termites will attack. Only way is proper pest control treatment.

Yeah you right...My roommates from Uni days is from Sarawak,he's from long house community.From him I know about the wood,he called it king of the wood...

Got. Burmese Teak. If thick solid type, termites won't bother. If thin strips, bye2.

It all depend on the moisture... If the moisture is right... It will attract termite...

belian wood. v hard to get. is super tough wood. if u wan cantik cantik kind of wood. cant use it. structure can la. v hard to carve. and termite proof. so far have not seen any termintes at the my wood tho.

My friend also said it has some kind of mystic power idunnolol..Better ask Sarawakian who stay at long house.They will know better I think.Oh,this wood also don't float on the water I think.Anyway it's a special kind of wood, I can assure you that..

I give you simple example la...Ferrari,many said what's special about it but many people  spends 20,30 million for its old car...

Same with this wood..can last hundreds of year,very expensive,rare,must be master skill on wood marking in order to carve it since it's a super hard wood like steel...

Chill...I just requote what  Sarawakian told me...

One man junk is one man treasure...I genuinely think collecting sneaker is a stupid thing yet many collect them ..So up to them la this a democracy country lol ...

But I do think Belian is a top tier of wood just like Ferrari in automotive.And Im not expert in both wood nor automobile.

Orait...If you got some sinking agarwood dont forget to tell me ya .Maybe I'll bought it from you
