Most of us our building prefab housing, but the challenge is there's infinite ways to put the modules together, and unlike real housing no physics to reduce the problem set of possbilities.


Even the prefab stuff has unknown unknowns - but everyone skimps on the geotechnical assessments of the ground you're building on...


And the prefab modules are all from different manufacturers who follow different standards.


And some of the hands have a tendency to put electrical between module feet and to try and bond the modules with wood glue.
