Roger traces his passion for modular back to his grandfather's involvement in a government prefab program, and how decades of frustration with conventional construction drove him to build something radically different.Andy and Roger break down the engineering and business realities of volumetric modular — from structural diaphragms and precision embed systems to why developers, GCs, and lenders all resist the shift in their own way. They also explore how Fullstack is rethinking contracting models to actually capture the value modular delivers.The episode wraps with a look ahead at a simplified low-rise product, a factory apprenticeship program, and the one remaining productivity challenge standing in the way. A must-listen for anyone curious about prefabrication, housing innovation, and the future of the built environment.Connect and learn more about our fantastic guest:Roger’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-krulak-b23a111/FullStack Modular’s Website: https://www.fullstackmodular.com/At ENHANCE, we’re dedicated to uncovering the “why” of industry professionals and sharing their unique stories.If you enjoy what you hear, please help us grow by leaving a 5-star review on your podcast player!
