Inside you can still make some adjustments. Higher quality, lower cost, quicker construction. Win. Win.

It's essentially the road to "cookie-cutter" homes and way to deal with skilled labor shortages. It doesn't take a brain surgeon, to supervise pouring concrete into a mold and then having unskilled labor, hooking them all together like Lego blocks.
Anyone who works with concrete will tell you, this method of construction is not without it's own set of issues. They may be different thank stick framing or block/masonry, but it's not a panacea.
