Has anyone thought to create a portable factory that can be set up near a new housing development to mass produce components for the houses being built? You’d basically just need a big tent with something to do the assembly on like large roller tables like they use for trusses. You wouldn’t need huge cranes for assembly since you could do smaller segments.
- shagie 4y agoIt is easier to build a factory and build homes with components that are standard sized and them ship that out on to the site. This also makes it much easier to have electrical and plumbing done nearly completely (with the final hookups on site) in a place where you can centralize the tasks to ensure a constant stream of work. https://www.designhomes.com/howitworks/ https://www.designhomes.com/howitworks/ The heavy machinery on site is less of a problem than needing to move all the tradesmen around, down times, and the logistics of sourcing and moving the materials rather than the product.
