shipping a complete house is expensive. site construction is very efficient and well setup for quick building with minimal people. And because you don’t have to design for what can fit on roads ends up almost as cheap while being more flexible-
i’m not arguing that site built is just as cheap only that it isn’t much more expensive and the other benifits make it worth it.
Site construction is not efficient at all. Like at all. It’s horribly inefficient. It’s pretty much the worst industry I can think of. There’s a reason why factories exist. I don’t think we’re going to see eye to eye on that, so we don’t need to keep saying the same thing back and forth.
Yes shipping is an issue. That’s why regionality is important. If hurricanes keep hitting the same area, that will create regional demand.
*Also, it’s not shipping a complete[d] house (which yes can be done too), it’s a modular house. That’s the whole point of the post.
