The industry as a whole still has some kinks to work out.

    Basically, premade panels or blocks that automatically interlock and are pre-fitted with the required hookups and utilities etc.

    This is basically how new houses are built. Assembled on site from pre fab components.

      What I was thinking about back then was different. I understand what you mean with modular homes, but the idea was more like something you would see in a space show. Hallways with panels like 2x2’ that lock together to form the surface, structure, insulation, electrical and plumbing, with e-ink like material on the people facing side to change the look. Similar idea to the modular home concept, just on a much smaller scale, with extra bells and whistles.

      I’m not really sure how else to describe it honestly.
