Todd’s Farewell: Thank You for the Journey

After 6.5 years and more than 350 episodes, this marks Todd’s farewell as host of Bridging the Gap.

What started as a simple idea turned into an unexpected journey. With listeners in over 100 countries and more than a million video views each year, the podcast became a platform for exploring construction innovation, challenging ideas, and connecting leaders across the industry.

In his final episode, Todd reflects on the lessons learned, the growth that came through curiosity, and the deeper appreciation gained for an industry built by people who care deeply about what they create.

Prefab, Unfiltered | Building Trust Between BIM, Prefabrication & the Field

BIM does not fail because of software. It fails when the field does not trust it.

In this episode of Prefab, Unfiltered, recorded live at Advancing Prefabrication, Todd Weyandt sits down with Max Morgan and Matt Goshorn to explore how BIM, VDC, and prefabrication connect to real jobsite execution.

As data center construction accelerates and modular construction strategies scale, digital workflows must translate into buildable outcomes. That requires early collaboration, clear communication, and a shared source of truth across project teams.

Prefabrication: Proven System, Not a Shortcut

Prefabrication in construction is often discussed in terms of speed and cost savings. But those benefits only appear consistently when prefab is treated as a system – not a shortcut. When prefab is approached as a one-off tactic applied late in a project, it frequently falls short of expectations. When it is approached as a long-term delivery model, supported by digital tools and repeatable processes, it becomes a powerful engine for predictability, productivity, and quality.
