This is a neat project from a design/engineering viewpoint, but it seems it's addressing the 'problem' of "houses look hard to make; how can it look like something I can do?" Same reason I'm skeptical of 3D printed houses.
We had looked into SIPs for our relatively fancy house, but budget won out. There are lots of neat building solutions that cost too much. If you think labor costs are high, wait til you try to find someone who will learn a new system.
Construction cost is not the reason that housing supply is tight—but engineers don't have as much fun fighting for better zoning policy.
