The Punchlist Problem: Why Modular Projects Finish Slow


Listen Later

Why do modular projects that start so fast often drag at the end? The punchlist problem is built into the method.

This episode examines why modular projects accumulate punchlist items—and how to plan for realistic post-set completion.

Topics covered:

  • Transport damage: vibration, impacts, and moisture exposure over hundreds of miles
  • Connection scope: fire caulk, drywall, paint, flooring, and trim at every seam
  • Quality variation between modules that shows up at final walkthrough
  • Factory vs. field warranty disputes that slow resolution
  • How to budget time, labor, and allowances for post-set completion

The solution isn't accepting slow punchlist as inevitable. It's planning for it from day one.
