I've looked into this in the past, companies like Deck House, Timber Peg. I'm also into "pre-fab modern" like you see in Dwell magazine. When you look at the cost of the kits, it seems like these kind of houses should be a bargain. The reality though, is that it almost always ends up costing (much) more than a professionally stick-built house. This is especially true when it's a custom house.
Side note, I live in a dome house that I understand was built from a kit back in the 70's.
