The General Assembly finds that, in an effort to meet the building needs within the state, the private construction industry has developed mass production techniques which can substantially reduce construction costs and that the mass production of buildings presents unique problems with respect to the establishment of uniform health and safety standards and inspection procedures. The General Assembly further finds that, by minimizing the problems of standards and inspection procedures, it is demonstrating its intention to encourage the reduction of building construction costs and to make building and home ownership more feasible for all residents of this state.
