There is genuine promise in off-site manufacturing applications for home building, yet beyond traditional trusses, panels, and components such as pre-hung doors, the industry penetration of true off-site–built homes remains about 3% as of 2019. That will change and inevitably increase, but only a handful of builders will find significant labor relief from manufacturing methods in the near term.
