The article mentions labor being a huge problem.

On a TV episode of Grand Designs (UK) a few years ago, the German company Huf Haus (www.huf-haus.com) sold a prefab home to a family. Their approach to labor? Ship that too.

The whole crew arrived with the house components. They knew exactly how to assemble it on the concrete base the local crews had put in place. It went up ridiculously quickly, and once done, they got in the trucks and drove back to Germany.

So I think the key takeaway of this article is that it's hard to drive from Germany to California.

I wonder if there is a business there... get US-based crews that are capable of being prefab builds.

Buy your prefab, crew shows up.

A lot of carports and similar simple metal structures are built this way. My dad ordered a shelter for his pickup camper. He already had a concrete foundation where we'd torn down a different building. The crew showed up in two pickups pulling little trailers, and they were done in a few hours.
