Do Rising Construction Costs make High End PreFab Like Dvele.com a good idea?

I loved the Blu homes concepts and designs, it was purchased by Dvele.com and they are moving to Montana. Their website says they can have a home ready for a developer in 4 months once up and running next year. 

Has anyone out there built or bought a Blu home or Dvele home? 

My main issue is that they will be booked to capacity (happily) in a short time. When I make my second and third purchases I will be on some waiting list of bookings. This will defeat any usability for business purposes to me. 

I am kind of in Love with VERMOD right now. The value and usability of a well made low cost, very energy efficient home is real. 

What do you think?

Have a good week!

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff:

Checked out their website...looks very interesting! I like that they have built-in solar panels and batteries to power the home in the event of a Grid-down sitaution.

My concern would be: will they be valued as manufactured homes are? Y'know. lower price PSF? I guess we'll have to see as they gain some time on market.....

Agreed! The industry has to establish itself next door to standard construction in the neighborhood at the same price per square foot.

I think in a competitive neighborhood next door to standard homes I would plan to price a Dvele home like everything else. In the country alone with low competition relying on appraisals would be less predictable.
