In this episode of Build Better Homes, Royal Mortier and John O’Shea dive into manufactured, modular, and panelized construction and clear up the confusion around what these terms actually mean.
They break down the key differences between manufactured homes, panelized wall systems, modular construction, and pre-cut framing packages, while sharing real-world examples from residential, multifamily, commercial, and even hospital projects.
The conversation explores where manufactured construction shines, where it creates challenges, and why planning, precision, and early decision-making matter far more in these systems than in traditional stick-built construction.
This episode also tackles common misconceptions around quality, cost, perception, and design flexibility including why many people still associate manufactured construction with outdated ideas that no longer reflect reality.
Manufactured and panelized construction aren’t shortcuts but actually, they’re systems.
When planned correctly, they improve speed, consistency, and quality. When rushed or misunderstood, they create expensive problems.
