Planning to get my shed up this year.
I was anticipating a very similar construction technique to @Jsyjay used on his.
Someone has suggested that I use SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels). This is a much faster building technique. The building basically goes together like Lego. The floor, walls, roof are all made out of these SIPs which act as an exoskeleton - so you do not need separate roof trusses or ladder frame walls.
You can either buy the panels and cut them yourself, or buy kits to slot together. Where they meet you use timber that is a snug fit that locks them all together. For large roofs, you use box steel that is foam filled to cover larger spans. You can roof and clad with whatever you want. You can batten out then plaster the insides. They are supposed to be very warm and quiet as they are totally sealed by membranes on the internal and external surfaces of the SIPs
