On this episode of The Offsite Dirt Network, we sat down with two powerhouse partners in the offsite construction world: Kent Anderson of Wesco and Francis Leisure of Unico, Inc. Both leaders have collaborated closely to bring forward practical, effective HVAC solutions for modular factories—solutions that boost efficiency, reduce cost, and ultimately support the growth of the offsite industry.

When choosing a heating and cooling system, noise levels are often overlooked, but they make a big difference in comfort, especially in modular homes and smaller spaces. The Unico System, known for its small-duct, high-velocity design, is one of the quietest options available today.

The construction industry is ripe for disruption, and modular construction is leading the charge. But simply moving construction into a factory isn't enough. To truly revolutionize the way we build, modular factories are embracing lean manufacturing principles. Today, we delve into the world of lean modular construction, exploring how it's transforming factory workflows and boosting process efficiency.

At the heart of every high-performance home is a simple but powerful truth: building science matters. On the latest episode of High Performance Build, our team of seasoned industry experts—Joe Konopacki, Mark, Sean, and Audree—sat down to break down what really makes a building work. Not just from a comfort or energy standpoint, but from the inside out: the systems, the materials, the air, the water—and most importantly, the people behind the build.

The construction industry is undergoing a seismic shift, moving from traditional, weather-dependent methods to the controlled precision of indoor fabrication. Offsite construction, also known as modular building, is no longer a niche concept but a rapidly growing force, poised to redefine how we build.

The modular construction industry is booming! With the U.S. market reaching $20.3 billion in 2024 and projected to hit $25.4 billion by 2029, now is the time for real estate developers, modular factory owners, general contractors, and private equity firms to shine. But with so much buzz, how do you make your project stand out and grab media attention? This comprehensive guide provides the strategic insights you need to effectively pitch your modular project and boost your bra
