Car: a lot of industry, little craftsmanship; house exactly the other way around.
Of course: the cheap house will have cheaper tiles, cheaper windows, cheaper roof tiles, etc. (although that doesn't necessarily mean less durable, windows from PL are simply cheaper without being worse).
But the cheaper house can also be cheaper because those who make it are paid less than others. This explains how Winnetou in NO Brandenburg, Oderbruch, right near Siberia, builds the palace for little money, while Arifas, because there are no millions there either, has to settle for simple.
Prefab house sector: A Scanhaus Marlow from the HRO region is simply cheaper to produce than a Viebrockhaus. Even if you compare equal with equal.
