That's unattainable quality for USA/Canada. Here are such home here as well, but they are not referred as 'manufactured' normally.

We mean something quite different when we talk about prefab homes in the Nordic countries that they mean in the US.

It's not just more expensive one off homes that are prebuilt in Finland - Over 50% of Finnish homes are now built offsite (or more accurately constructed from 'parts' built off site). This includes both single family wooden homes and concrete apartment buildings.

Precast concrete has been used since the 1950s: https://www.elematic.com/learn/what-is-precast-concrete/

This is probably a result of: 1) Construction companies are larger and are building on multiple plots with the same concrete apartment building or 10-20 identical or similar wooden buildings 2) The Finnish love affair with family lakeside summer cottages has got people used to ordering a building 'off the shelf'

I think Älvsby houses in the Nordics are closer to what the article is talking about. Their houses are built from large pieces manufactured at a factory and later assembled at the site.

Those Honka houses do look really impressive, but the national average cost per square meter to build a home in the US is approximately €400 which is 4x less expensive than the stated costs on honka's site.

Holy shit! That looks fucking gorgeous. Probably >$250 a square foot which people would rather just pay 2x as much for stickbuilt in CA.
