It's not like normal houses are made out of manually laid individual bricks anymore, either. You use at worst cinderblocks, and more likely concrete panels, and just build huge sections at a time.

The only thing that burnt was the cladding, which yes was a contractor cheaping the fuck out and using some kind of mystery meat flammable toxic garbage and endlessly putting off repairs even after getting flagged for unsafety. You can turn the sturdiest ancient stone castle flammable just by shoving in a bunch of flammable plastic fibers for some reason against code.
