In this episode of Activating Curiosity™, Ryan Ware sits down with Vikas Murali, Co-Founder and CEO of Offsight, to explore why limited visibility inside prefab factories remains one of the biggest barriers to scaling offsite construction.

As contractors and manufacturers expand into prefabrication, modular construction, and industrialized manufacturing, many still rely on manual processes and disconnected systems that create uncertainty around progress, quality, and delivery. This lack of real-time production visibility makes it difficult for project teams, contractors, and owners to fully trust and adopt prefab solutions.

Vikas shares how his background in manufacturing technology led to the creation of Offsight, a digital platform transforming prefab factories from construction-style workflows to manufacturing-driven operations. They discuss how real-time production tracking, digital workflows, and enhanced data reporting improve factory efficiency and project outcomes.

The conversation dives into the critical role leadership and change management play in adopting new technologies and scaling prefab manufacturing within the construction industry.

What You'll Learn: 

• Why lack of visibility slows prefab and offsite construction adoption 
• How digital workflows improve factory efficiency and project outcomes 
• Ways to build trust between factories, contractors, and owners 
• How data and reporting reduce risk in prefab projects 
• Why change management is key for scaling industrialized construction

If you're focused on offsite construction, prefab manufacturing, modular building, construction technology, or innovation in AEC, this episode offers actionable insights to accelerate adoption, improve trust, and drive better project results.
