Common materials of Greek architecture were wood, used for supports and roof beams; plaster, used for sinks and bathtubs; unbaked brick, used for walls, especially for private homes; limestone and marble, used for columns, walls, and upper portions of temples and public buildings; terracotta, used for roof tiles and ornaments; and metals, especially bronze, used for decorative details.

Ancient Greek temple and other public buildings were mainly constructed of stone by the Egyptian Stone Frame method. These replaced earlier timber structures. The stone used was mainly local marble and limestone.

Houses were mainly mud brick, or timber, but fired clay bricks began to be used with a similar lime mortar to that used for the stone buildings

Roofs were mainly thatch in early Ancient Greek construction, but fired clay roof tiles in both curved and flat forms were used more later in the period.

Temples were built from marble and limestome.
