This siding material is definitely not going to move to residential construction in my opinion, at least not in its current state. The point about how residential contractors don't always build to the best specifications and then waiver from what they do draw is a great point. In commercial construction there is enough detail in the drawings that, if the laborers were magical and never messed up, they could by exactly the material they needed down to the last metal stud. With that said, it is easy for them to order the exact pieces of siding needed for a building, that is not the case for residential homes. Also, this siding, from a design perspective is too "blocky" for a house. I'm not saying you can't be different but typically a house that is not stone or brick (aka has some siding) has siding that runs in narrow lengths horizontally and sometimes vertically. I think butting these blocks as siding is a little to extreme for a house. so i don't think these would work for residential construction because of their ascetic and installation/ordering process.
