Description

In this episode of Activating Curiosity™, Ryan Ware sits down with Vikas Murali, Co-Founder and CEO of Offsight, to explore why visibility inside prefab factories may be 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 visibility. This lack of transparency creates uncertainty around progress, quality, and delivery—making it difficult for project teams and owners to trust the prefab process.Vikas shares how his background in manufacturing technology led to Offsight and how digital tools are helping prefab factories transition from construction-style workflows to manufacturing-driven operations.Together, they explore how real-time production tracking, digital workflows, and better reporting improve factory performance while giving contractors, developers, and project teams the visibility needed to make confident decisions.This conversation also highlights the human side of change—why change management, leadership, and culture are critical to adopting new technology and scaling prefab successfully.If you're focused on offsite construction, prefab manufacturing, modular building, construction technology, or industrialized construction, this episode offers practical insights into how visibility and data can accelerate adoption and improve 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.
