The Hidden Cost of Design Freeze 2:59

1h ago2:59

2:59

Design freeze is the moment that defines a modular project. But what no one tells you is that freezing design early has real costs—costs that traditional projects never face. In this episode: Why design freeze happens 2-4 months earlier than traditional The hidden cost of committing before you have full market data Why changes that cost $50K in tra…

Why Sequencing Determines Success or Failure 4:07

35m ago4:07

4:07

Modular construction lives or dies on sequencing. Not just factory sequencing—but the coordination between design, production, transportation, and site.

The Factory Doesn't Remove Risk, It Relocates It 3:09

1d ago3:09

3:09

The pitch is that factories eliminate weather risk and labor shortages. That's partially true. But the risk doesn't disappear—it moves upstream, where it's harder to see and more expensive to fix. In this episode: How risk concentrates early in modular projects Why factory production is only as good as its inputs The transportation and site readine…

Speed Isn't the Advantage—Certainty Is 3:04

4d ago3:04

3:04

The market sells modular on speed. But speed without certainty is just compressed chaos. The real value of modular isn't building faster—it's knowing what you're getting, when you're getting it, and what it will cost before you break ground. In this episode: Why "50% faster" is the wrong metric How certainty—not speed—de-risks deals for lenders and…

Why Modular Fails More Often Than It Should 3:06

6d ago3:06

3:06

Modular construction fails not because the method is flawed, but because teams treat it like traditional construction with a factory in the middle. The coordination requirements are fundamentally different, and most failures trace back to misaligned expectations—not manufacturing defects. In this episode: Why the "factory instead of site" framing i…
