About this listen

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 is dangerous
  • How modular is actually a systems integration problem
  • Where failures really happen—in the gaps between design, production, and site
  • Why the factory doesn't remove risk, it relocates it upstream
  • What this means for developers and capital
