why do you think this will be cheaper than conventional housing?
I may be wrong in my assumption, but I figured that the cost of materials would be no more than an equivalent build, the manufacture/ assembly would be very efficient as it should be set up for production, and it eliminates the cost of the groundworks and on-site labour which takes months as far as I know. However, I'm not knowledgeable about construction at all or the breakdown of the component costs of a conventional house build.

I guess this is a discussion for the architecture thread, but why do you think this will be cheaper than conventional housing?
This is a continuation of a theme that has been going on for decades - the counterweight hinges they've developed are amazing, but I'm not sure it solves many of the other issues.
