I really don't understand why people don't go for prefab walls instead. Am I missing something? It sounds to me that creating a house out of composable units that contain insulation, wiring and plumbing makes more sense.
The article says this uses only 30% of the concrete you'd otherwise use. Presumably prefab would use more.
