That’s a custom house extension, but I’m talking about new construction. Most home builders just build small variations of the same few designs in mass quantities.
Once the design is complete, why can’t we mass produce the same house reliably and with minimal labor?

Down here in Oz tamawood are selling identical homes from a small set of plans, in germany prefab is huge, it's on "grand designs" a lot: complete wall sections with plumbing and wiring and windows and insulation predicted, slot together.
