What about the part where factory-constructed housing is more consistent and higher quality than site-constructed? If I ever build custom, I'd love to use prefab panels, at least.

That's kind of my point. Modular is mostly a design/aesthetic/quality choice for people who can afford it. You would think that the entire purpose would be affordability vs. onsite with the huge labor savings. But these things are so marked up it ends up being pointless in that regard.
- ericd 2y agoHm I wonder why they’re so marked up, any idea? Maybe because the transportation is less efficient because the panels/modules pack less densely than a pile of 2x4s and sheathing?
