I took a ride down towards Middleton the other day and saw a line of at least 10 trailers with concrete wall sections on them waiting to be lifted into place. No question these were precast sections.

Tilt wall construction, at least for the homes, is less likely due to the limited space available. There simply is not enough room between many of the homes in my neighborhood for the walls to have been cast horizontally and then tilted into place.

But for what the OP is asking, there doesn't seem to be a significant difference. If the walls are made to a template, whether on-site or in a factory, the concern for whether they can be modified after the home is constructed is the same.
