Description
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 construction, many still rely on manual processes, disconnected systems, and limited production transparency. This lack of real-time visibility creates uncertainty around progress, quality, and delivery—making it difficult for project teams, contractors, and owners to fully trust the prefab process.Vikas shares how his background in manufacturing technology sparked the creation of Offsight and how digital tools help prefab factories transition from construction-style workflows to manufacturing-driven operations. Together, they discuss how real-time production tracking, digital workflows, and enhanced reporting improve factory performance while giving stakeholders the insights needed to make confident, data-driven decisions.This episode also highlights the critical role of leadership and change management in successfully adopting new technologies and scaling prefab manufacturing within the construction industry.If you're focused on offsite construction, prefab manufacturing, modular building, construction technology, or innovation in AEC, this episode offers actionable insights on how visibility, data, and leadership can accelerate adoption and improve project outcomes.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 critical to scaling industrialized construction Chapters6:20 - The Role of Technology in Prefab15:52 - Overcoming Manual Process Barriers24:45 - Building Trust Through Data Visibility35:48 - Change Management in Manufacturing46:55 - Future of Prefab and Industry InsightsGuestVikas Murali is Co-Founder and CEO of Offsight, a software platform for prefab, modular, and offsite construction.
