Why can't we build houses more efficiently?

Here you go boys and girls. The only wood products I seen on these homes were the roof decking and trim work on the inside. These are being built in Paulding county

Yes that’s an entire framed house including the rafters done in metal

Mad termites, that was funny.
Picture hanging, trust me she's going to put holes in the wall if that's the last thing she does....

I remember a house I watched being built in East Cobb just of Johnson Ferry Rd. being built out of the steel studs used primarily in commercial buildings. This was in the 90s IIRC....it's still there today. Just the regular steel studs with pre-punched holes for BX cable and plumbing. Sheetrock just gets screwed to it with self-drilling screws.... I recently paid $7.04 for a 2X4 stud at HD I had to have for something; I'm guessing these u-channel studs have gotten very competitive with wood now.

Remember the one on johnsons ferry of concrete. One of the ones with the red tile roofs. No attic insulation needed.

A few years ago, I watched a video at work in a training class that showed a new (stick built not pre-built sections) house being built in an insane amount of time (it was like 7 days total). The build went non-stop, day and night but it was amazing they finished it within the time frame they did. When I saw the post title “efficiently”, this came to my mind first.

Ever saw a Jehovah's Witness church built? With site work and foundation completed beforehand, they're finished in one weekend.

Why would anyone want to live in houses that are that close together , way out in Paulding county?
Isn’t there plenty of room left in paulding to have a normal house and yard ?
