Prefab Home Costs Seen Lower But Adoption Limited
Federal estimates suggest factory built homes could cost up to 11 percent less than traditional houses due to cheaper labor and streamlined production. A 10 percent wage saving is possible, but gains are offset by tooling costs and housing market cycles, keeping assembly line methods rare. HUD officials cite uniform building codes across states as a key plus, with 12 states already enacting standardized rules and 17 more considering bills.
