Prefab, Unfiltered | Scaling Drywall Prefabrication Through BIM & Coordination

About this episode

This episode explores scaling drywall prefabrication through improved BIM workflows and coordination.

Drywall prefabrication is still in its growth phase. In this episode of Prefab, Unfiltered, recorded live at Advancing Prefabrication, Todd Weyandt sits down with Kiryl Turbal to explore how drywall prefab can scale through tighter BIM workflows, better coordination, and a value stream mindset. While electrical and mechanical trades have matured in prefabrication, drywall remains an evolving space. Success depends on treating prefab operations as strategic value streams, aligning design and field teams earlier, and acknowledging the real time required for coordination. This conversation dives into BIM-to-fabrication workflows, communication gaps between modelers and foremen, the role of repetition in building maturity, and how AI and data security may influence future drywall prefab operations. If you are involved in prefabrication, drywall construction, BIM coordination, modular construction, or industrialized building strategies, this episode offers practical insight into scaling an emerging prefab trade. You’ll Learn Why drywall prefabrication requires a value stream mindset How BIM-to-fabrication workflows can improve drywall productivity Why coordination takes longer than…
