[quote=Anonymous]The site, utility, and foundation work for a house is significant, usually at least 20%, and has to be done on site regardless. Pre manufactured modules are generally energy efficient, but expensive to truck, obviously, and modules are limited by truck size, so site assembly is always required. Also large modules have to be moved by cranes, expensive to use. In this climate that energy efficiency gain is not a huge payoff vs, say Alaska. Also, in this climate it’s generally possible to build outdoors year round. There’s just no financial incentives to use that method. Theres an interesting recent ‘this old house’ episode on prefab wall module company in New England, which specialize in building extremely energy efficient walls and being able to build portions of s home year round, though.
