The problem is that many prices for building are fixed, but increasing volume (size) is relatively cheap.

It takes a builder about as much time to build a small house as a large one, and the large one is more profitable, so which do you think they’d like to build?

You can certainly build a smaller house, but you get the $250k for a small house build but only $300-350 to double its size.
