Yeah, sure, I got the difference between these prefab home modules vs prefab parts for very large buildings. I don't really expect these things to translate into the building of 20+ story office/apartment skyscrapers. Totally different domains. I think that last paragraph (about specialization vs being a local jack of all trades) has a loth of truth to it. Having lived in the Swedish outback.. without these modular homes made in factories it's all about your personal connections to local people who can do building work. There is no other way of making sure that your house gets built correctly. This obviously doesn't make for a very dynamic marketplace. People get screwed constantly. (So that's a plus for prefab factories - it's a lot easier to screen their quality than for individual contractors - out of sheer volume of customers.)
