Hey, Legends! In this episode of The Building Talks Podcast, I had the chance to sit down with Chris Ong,  Managing Director of SYNC. Sync has made a name for itself in the modular construction space, particularly with bathroom pods, having delivered an impressive 29,000 units so far! We dove into Chris's fascinating career journey, from his early days as a Project and Contract Administrator up to his more recent leadership roles within Hickory, of which SYNC are a specialist division.

Our chat took us deep into the world of modular and off-site construction, covering topics like 3D modelling, prefab construction, and the practicalities of delivering these innovative projects. Chris shared some valuable insights from a contractor’s perspective on everything from the logistics of installation to the workforce requirements and the volume needed to make these projects financially viable. We also touched on how Sync’s advanced methods are setting a high standard in the industry.

If you're interested in the future of construction, this episode is a must-listen. Chris’s knowledge and experience in modular construction and his candid take on the industry make this conversation both insightful and exciting. Hit play and discover the cutting-edge trends shaping the construction landscape!
