I know very little about building construction but we just bought a new-built in Vienna and very little of that seems bespoke. The entire construction is largely made from standardized prefab elements (I think there are around 130 units in here).

Yeah, even the high-end new developments around here seem to be made up of a repeating set of 4-6 different standardized designs to pick from.
