Bridging the Gap: Insights & Innovations in Construction · 2026-04-23 · 35 min
Prefab is no longer just about speed. It’s about building smarter systems that connect people, processes, and technology into one cohesive workflow. In this episode of Bridging the Gap, Todd Weyandt sits down with Thomas Mellendorf, process engineer at Panel Built, to break down what it really takes to optimize prefab operations. From transitioning to model-based workflows to building connected ecosystems and leveraging automation, Thomas shares a practical, systems-driven perspective grounded in real execution. They also explore the human side of innovation, why communication is often the biggest constraint, how to approach change management, and where AI is actually delivering value today. If you’re looking to move beyond theory and into what actually works in prefab, this conversation delivers.
