Contractors that produce standing metal seam roof panels on site are right inline with this concept. They bring a magic machine with a long roll of steel. Then they form and cut the panels to lengths based on the job site. It’s a super cool process to watch and very efficient.

Reminds me of Nadia traveling all over Mars after the first failed revolution and building habitats from scratch using the huge robots in KSR’s Mars trilogy.

Very cool, but probably not solving the factors involved in housing unaffordability.
