Unless you have stucco, then the outside walls are concrete block and 1” channels that the drywall attaches to with I think 1” styrofoam insulation. All of the inside walls are metal studs (except maybe in the larger custom homes) and the roof trusses span across from outside walls to outside walls.
When we hung our television screens on the inside walls, I used toggle bolts, pushed them thru the metal studs and pulled them back against the backside of the studs. For everything else the screw in plastic that can support up to 75 lbs can hold just about everything else. For the televisions I also added a few of these screw in hangers for some extra support but probably was not needed.
