Lean manufacturing is often discussed as a methodology, but in practice, it is a discipline—a way of thinking that demands clarity, measurement, and accountability. From a Six Sigma perspective, lean is not about working faster; it is about designing systems that consistently perform within defined tolerances, reduce variability, and deliver predictable outcomes.

The future of construction isn’t defined solely by materials, methods, or technology—it’s shaped by the people who build, teach, and inspire the next generation. In this episode of Offsite Dirt Network, we reconnect with Mark Wille to talk about high-performance building, workplace wellness, and why early education matters more than ever. Reintroducing Construction Through Creativity

The future of construction isn’t just about building faster — it’s about building smarter, more flexibly, and with long-term value in mind. In this episode of Offsite Dirt Network, we sat down with John Fay, founder of Låda Build, to explore how standardized building systems, global collaboration, and digital design are reshaping how we think about housing and construction worldwide.

Offsite construction refers to the planning, fabrication, and partial or full assembly of building components in a controlled factory environment rather than entirely on a traditional job site. These components are then transported to the project location and assembled into a completed structure. While the concept has existed for decades, today’s offsite construction methods are far more sophisticated, data-driven, and integrated than earlier iterations.

Throughout my career, I have always found practices that allow me to feel more clear, youthful, and creative. If you know anything about me, I am the definition of a serial entrepreneur. All my life, I have helped others create businesses—from startup to revenue-generating companies. Some of those businesses are billion-dollar annual revenue enterprises, while others have supported women building small businesses rooted in passion and purpose, helping others through meaningfu
