Victoria needs more housing, and the way we build it is changing fast. This week, Vince sits down with Matt, Chief Operating Officer of RAS Ltd, a Victoria-based company reshaping construction through off-site prefabrication, 3D modelling and panelized wall systems.

In this episode:

  • How RAS got started and what a COO actually does day to day
  • What actually happens inside a prefab facility, from architect drawings to finished wall panels
  • Why 3D modelling before construction cuts waste, mistakes and delays
  • Where prefab can make the biggest dent in Victoria's housing shortage
  • The biggest misconceptions about prefab construction
  • Whether AI is already changing how homes get built
  • Where homebuilding might be in 10 years, and whether homes will eventually be assembled like cars
  • Quick fire: wood or steel, Matt's favourite building in Victoria, and the biggest myth about prefab

If you've ever wondered what happens before a house is even framed, this one's worth the listen.
