In order to truly establish owner trust and secure a steady pipeline of projects prefabricators must embrace transparency. In our interviews and conversations with owners and construction managers, financial risk, the inability to assess prefab progress once projects start, and buyer hesitation, unfamiliarity with the prefab process, were listed as the most common points of friction. By addressing these pain points through greater visibility, real-time data sharing, and proactive communication, prefabricators can reduce risk, build confidence, and accelerate offsite adoption.

In this report, we will outline why technology is the solution to removing friction to build offsite by driving transparency between prefabricators and the owners and general contractors overseeing prefab projects.
