Drywall prefabrication is still in its growth phase, according to a new episode of the Bridging the Gap Podcast. Recorded live at the Advancing Prefabrication event, host Todd Weyandt and guest Kiryl Turbal discuss how the drywall sector can scale through tighter Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows, better coordination, and a value stream mindset.
While electrical and mechanical trades have already matured in prefabrication, drywall remains an evolving space. Success, they argue, depends on treating prefab operations as strategic value streams, aligning design and field teams earlier, and acknowledging the real timelines required for implementation.
The episode is part of the "Prefab, Unfiltered" series and explores practical steps for moving drywall from traditional construction to a manufacturing-like process.
