They prefab wall panels in a factory and pretty much cut all of the discrete lumber in a computer aided factory. All the "assembler" does is stand them up and nail them together. So much for those guys who spent decades developing their skill. If you can put an Ikea book case together, you can build a house ... and it ends up being faster and cheaper. These are not "boxes", they are wall panels so you can build just about anything. I know this runs against your grain, but "faster and cheaper" typically isn't "better." In this case it might be. When each panel is an engineered structure where cuts and nailing schedules are done by the computer, you will end up with a stronger building. |
