Paul Kealey on the Future of Homebuilding (And Why We're Not Ready)

Construction costs are climbing, skilled labor is getting harder to find, and building a home on-site comes with plenty of opportunities for expensive surprises. Paul Kealey of EkoBuilt joins Mark to explain how prefab construction and passive house principles can create more predictable builds, healthier homes, and better energy performance without sending costs into orbit. Plus, they tackle the biggest obstacle to prefab taking off: an industry that may need to get comfortable with a little thing called change.
