    I'm surprised that they don't also print a QR code on each part. Then you can just scan it at the job site or in the fab to learn where it goes.

      He did dodge it but he is right, factory built home do raise the quality controls and the quality of life of the workers . You would find it weird if your new car was being assembled by your local mechanic, factory conditions are ideal.

      Mike B it was a poor answer, he could have said “No way we are employing x number of people with full benefits and better working conditions!”

      Per their website, prefabbed walls (which are min 9-1/16" thick) have at least a 2-1/2" space for running that (see tektoniks.com/building-systems-components/)

      @Marcel_Germann 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      In most cases you plan your house where everything needs to go, bathroom, sinks, toilets, showers, bath tubs for the plumbing and the places for the outlets. They put the electrical and plumbing in when they produce it in the factory. Everything is connected inside of the wall, so they only need to make the connections coming out of the wall, and that's happening on the construction site when they assemble the parts to get the whole house. They also got some standards, and as everywhere, the more you deviate from the standard by ordering special requests, the more expensive the house will become.
