Summary:
In the USA we are all familiar with the standard wall height of 8 ft. What might we find as the common construction practice in Asia?

Most of us Americans are familiar with the English system of measure and the standard construction dimension lumber and modular CMU (Concrete Masonry Unit), but in the metric system and specifically Asia, what are the common practices for wall height and thickness? I think we should incorporate standard practice for the region where the facility will be built.

Also, what is the most practical construction material for the floors, walls, roofing and doors?

i think this video as well as these photos give a good impression of local building materials.

In terms of what's standard modular construction, i'm not sure. It seems, however, from these images that a lot of the building materials such as stone, concrete, thatching, etc. used throughout the region, modular construction is not really applicable in this case.
