protec sounds like a great system and environmentaly progressive, not sure of how they do the pre-wiring and rough plumbing through the panels and how this flies through county inspections, i'm sure its easily approved by the county....i just want to understand the process.
the site mentions that costs are now comparable to regular wood construction, hopefully there are now many builders/contractors that know how to build the systems and labor costs reflect the faster build times....i wonder if this brings labor costs to 2x instead of 3x costs all-in costs to complete a home.
it would be good to check out any work in progress to see how fast this really goes up..
on another note, i wonder if there are issues with applying stucco as the facade and the multitudes of small earthquakes on the island...alot of smaller cracks on stucco can add up to alot of problems down the road.
