| In’t the size of the container a limitation? In the UK, prefab house panels can often larger than a container and constructed on large platforms |

| The container is used to ship the tooling, you could purchase the raw material local to site and build what you need there. |

| ▲ | yencabulator 2 days ago | parent [-] | | https://www.facit-homes.com/building-process shows a house being built of boxes made from CNC-cut plywood. The trade-offs are probably a little different than the "whole wall at a time" prefab panels; a little more local labor is required to assemble, but transportation burden is a single delivery/pickup of the microfactory and a supply of plywood instead of shipping the wall-size panels that need a large crane to move. |
