Precisely. That’s the thing that I’ve been thinking.
The other thing, which I’ve seen in other countries happen, is to aim for speed and quantity at the cost of quality which can have plenty of nasty safety and social impacts.
I’d have elaborated more on the “social side” but I just can’t find a way to talk about that w/o sounding like a condescending a-hole, esp given my little knowledge on the topic 😂
In theory, quality wouldn’t have to be sacrificed. The efficiencies gained from construction/assembly in a dedicated facility would be what reduces costs and increases production.
Mobile homes have a poor reputation, but that’s not inherent to the concept of off-site construction. Of course I suspect “unique” one-off on-site homes will still enjoy a certain prestige, combined with increasing competition in the off-site construction space, probably leading to some cost conscious shoppers for these homes.
