That's misleading when comparing this.

There's a typical expectation of manufactured parts or prepared wood for a wood frame building. (It's not instantaneous to season wood for house building, and it's longer than this structure drying)

I have looked into building a house a few month ago, the wait time for the structural lumber components to be manufactured to the spec - 3 months. "Raising the barn" part is hardly the long part.

Houses can also be “stick built” from lumber on site. The trusses will usually be manufactured so that they are all identical but they are generally quick barring any backlog of work.
