Why Modular Fails More Often Than It Should


Listen Later

Why do modular construction projects fail more often than they should?

Modular 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.

Topics covered:

  • 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

For developers, GCs, and capital partners evaluating modular construction.
