Prefabrication promises better quality, safer jobsites, reduced costs, and compressed schedules. But those gains only materialize when what you build in the shop connects precisely to what happens in the field. For many firms, accurate field layout is the hidden bottleneck between prefab strategy and prefab results, no matter what you build. In this session, hear from two firms that used automated layout to fully realize their prefab strategies across very different sectors. One brings experience from hyperscale data center construction, where prefab modules must meet tight tolerances across massive floorplates. The other operates in high-volume residential construction, where speed, repeatability, and cost drive everything—and where a misstep in framing snowballs into delays for every trade that follows. What unites them is how automated layout changed the relationship between the shop and the site. What they've learned will challenge how you think about your own prefab potential.
