| Jan 11, 2020 at 17:20 | comment | added | Fattie | it's incredibly difficult / probably impossible to size a room so that sheets "just fit". (think of the "overlapping edges" to begin with) . Saying that the room will be 4xN does not do it. More likely you will make it just miss which is a total PITA. It's just not a workable idea. It's simply wrong, it's not how building works. | |

| Jan 10, 2020 at 15:35 | comment | added | Freiheit | Another thought - the problem you're trying to solve is fundamentally the same problem that pre-fab home builders have solved on a larger scale. When you're building one house at a time, the labor and planning to save a few sheet cuts is greater than the saved material cost. When you're building 100 houses in a quarter, that adds up. | |
| Jan 10, 2020 at 15:35 | comment | added | Freiheit | You might also think of the problem the other way around. There are norms in homebuilding that have been around for decades or centuries and the building materials have changed to suit those norms. The examples I can think of are that there are plumbing and electrical fixtures that are perfectly sized to fit common framing sizes. | |
