Pizza & Prefab: The Ultimate Efficiencies featuring Axel Webb
Show Notes

Pizza and prefab construction, an unusual pair that have quite a lot in common, according the Axel Webb, from TAS Energy, a prefabrication and manufacturing powerhouse. 

Axel is a golf semi-pro and efficiency guru.  His career has taken him from operation over 40 Little Caesar Pizza restaurants to his current position as pre-construction manager at TAS Energy, a pre fab manufacturer specializing in construction in the MEP sector. He talks about the parallels between these two types of manufacturing.  Yes, manufacturing food with ingredients, and manufacturing a building with materials.  The prefab process is fascinating and Axel takes us through considerations when deciding to procure this method of construction to how it is delivered to the site.  Challenges, successes, and failures hinge on how efficient a CUP - Central Utility Plant is designed, manufactured, delivered and installed.
