  • Modular Construction: What’s Possible & What’s Not
    Apr 8 2026

    What can you actually build with modular construction—and where are the limits?

    In Episode 5 of Beyond the Build, Chance sits down with Wes Minster, Plant Manager of the Fortified Structures factory, to break down what’s truly possible in the modular world. From single-family homes to hotels and even detention facilities, they walk through real examples of what works—and what might not.

    They also dive into the constraints that matter most: transportation, design considerations, cost efficiency, and why not every project makes sense to build modular (even if it’s technically possible).

    Plus, Wes shares insights from 30+ years in the industry, with experience ranging from residential builds to large-scale urban projects.

    If you’ve ever wondered, “Can modular build this?”—this episode gives you a clear, honest answer.
