Why do so many modular projects fail at the design phase? Because architects approach modular the wrong way.

In this episode, we break down the three critical mistakes architects make when designing for modular construction—and how to avoid them.

Topics covered:

• Why designing for modular means starting with constraints, not fighting them
• The module grid problem: bathrooms, kitchens, and corridors that straddle seams
• How over-customization kills factory economics
• Why smart architects pick the factory first and design to their strengths
• Transportation limits that shape every decision downstream

Whether you're an architect new to modular or a developer vetting design partners, this episode reveals where design goes wrong—and how to get it right from day one.
