Are there any other people building a Dwell Home/Flatpak House reading these forums? If so, I'd like to hear about your experience because of the problems we're having trying to get ours constructed.

Just recently our windows and exterior panels were delivered, and our builder has informed us that NONE of the windows will fit into the existing frame of the house. They are all too big. Shock that this is, we have also discovered that Empyrean (formerly Deck House and current manufacturer of the Flatpak components) knew the windows wouldn't fit even as it was manufacturing them. Evidently the first Flatpak (built in Massachusetts) was faced with the same problem last summer, and its windows were forced into place with sledge hammers.

Has anyone experienced my frustration in wondering what are the supposed benefits and efficiencies of prefab? What is the point of all that precise engineering and construction in the factory if the builder has to recut and reconstruct all the components on site?

If you've started a Flatpak--or any other similar prefab house--have you faced this or similar problems? (Or even if you aren't building one, have you heard about what's going on?) What were your builder's solutions? I'd love to figure out a way to put up this house without destroying the windows I've already spent thousands of dollars on.
