Panelized construction is on the rise, and it has become very popular for numerous reasons.

In this week\u2019s episode, my co-host Nathan Wood and I sit down with David Victor, Senior Manufacturing Engineer, and Chris Boal, Integrated Construction Director at BLUvera, to discuss the technology and process behind BLUvera\u2019s panelized wall system.

BLUvera, a manufacturer and designer of cold-formed steel products, takes pride in its innovative manufacturing and off-site fabrication systems, aiming to enhance construction safety, speed, and predictability.

Today, we\u2019ll dive deep into off-site fabrication and panelized construction, examining its profound impact on the industry. We\u2019ll also geek out on the technology behind BLUvera\u2019s innovative manufacturing and fabrication systems, along with its associated challenges and opportunities, and more.

Let\u2019s jump right in!
