Reported

Speed is not coherence. A fast stack can still be steel- and transport-intensive.

Australia often imports a module type and is surprised the governance did not come with it.

ARK Homes is a historic modular case, not a verified Australian factory

Import-capable modular brands can look like domestic capacity. The observatory keeps the case and withholds the factory.
