This old house (PBS) is doing a show as we speak about Connor Homes.
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.

It won't take long for unscrupulous "builders" to "specialize" in
assembling these for people and finding ways to cut corners on the
assembly. And they will happily provide their own Electrical, Plumbing
and HVAC contractors to ensure you get a great deal...
