If you're interested in the economics and history of home construction, with a focus on different levels of prefabrication, Brian Potter has a very relevant substack. Below are a some articles I think are relevant to North Americans looking to understand the state of prefabrication:

[1] reviews prefabrication systems, broken down by technology. The conclusion suggests it's difficult for these systems to reach the scale necessary for success.

[2] explains the primacy of balloon frame construction in North America through the frame of "worse is better."

[3] most recently, a survey of componentization technologies.
