Prefab isn’t simple.
And that complexity is exactly why factories fall back to manual processes.
Prefab manufacturing promises efficiency and scalability—but the reality inside many factories tells a different story.
In this clip from Activating Curiosity™, Vikas Murali (Co-Founder & CEO of Offsight) breaks down one of the biggest challenges facing prefab and offsite construction: complexity.
Each product, project, and workflow is different. As that complexity increases, many factories fall back on manual systems—spreadsheets, printed drawings, and paper checklists—just to keep up.
The problem?
Manual processes can’t scale.
Without visibility into production, quality, and progress, prefab factories struggle to operate efficiently and build trust with project teams.
This is one of the key barriers slowing the adoption of offsite construction.
If you’re involved in prefab manufacturing, modular construction, or industrialized construction, this insight will likely feel familiar.
