I presume this is because normal folks can’t get planning for these types of houses.

Factories like this work when they get large standardised orders.
These would mainly be due to state contractors or large housing developments.
They have to be standardised and large contracts because thats how you get your economies of scale.
On the sites I work on, we have completely moved away from using traditional construction for any admin buildings that are needed, unless strictly required by planning permission.
We are using shannette sheds for essentially everything now. They are amazing. Pour a slab, and the boys arrive and have the building up in a few days.
Would I live in one? No.
Are they great for everything else? Yes.

Were they the homes that end up costing about 450 k by the time they were built

BAM bought it, BAM shuttered it.
Relative of mine got one of these delivered from Scandinavia for way cheaper and much higher spec. Might be relevant to this place closing
We were advised to stick with traditional builds because non conventional materials would lead to more scrutiny on the mortgage

For anyone wondering, these are the modular houses that were built by MHI, they’re not log cabins.
“Rapid build” homes, transported semi-built with roof and blockwork done on site.
