Really interesting company! From the article:

> Facit Homes is a relatively small builder - they build fewer than 10 homes a year, all of them custom. And though they’re using advanced manufacturing techniques, they don’t seem especially interested in any sort of mass production.

I’m wondering if this is true? Or do you think starting high end and super custom might lead to bigger scale?

scaling our approach (multi unit schemes) is definitely on the radar - we have always been ahead of the curve and are waiting for the market to catch up, to the point when the benefits of a fully digital but hybrid approach can be seen. With the struggles of large scale modular becoming clearer by the day, we are coming closer to the time that new approaches are required. We are however doing things in our own time, at our own pace.
