The Capital Stack

Why does MEP coordination matter more in modular construction?

Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are installed in the factory. That sounds like an advantage—until you realize the coordination burden it creates between factory and field.

Topics covered:

  • How factory-installed MEP changes the coordination process
  • The stub-out and tie-in challenges at module interfaces
  • Why MEP clashes are discovered in the field, not the factory
  • What good MEP coordination looks like in modular

For project managers and MEP coordinators on modular projects.

What is The Capital Stack?

The Capital Stack is a daily briefing for anyone raising or allocating private capital — fund managers, family offices, institutional investors, and trusted advisors navigating the full investor landscape.

Each episode delivers a single actionable insight about how capital actually moves: how pensions and endowments make decisions, what insurance companies really want, how sovereign wealth funds operate, why family offices optimize for control over returns, and how retail capital is reshaping private markets.

Deep dives on institutional investors, life insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, venture capital, private equity, fund-of-funds, retail wealth channels, and family offices. No interviews, no sponsor reads — just patterns, behaviors, and structural truths that help you raise smarter.

3–5 minutes. No filler. No hype.
