Precision Contractors and Fading West Announce Modular Construction Partnership

Fading West brings an award-winning modular manufacturing operation built around LEAN principles and a 110,000-square-foot, climate-controlled facility that has produced more than 1,000 homes. Precision brings 21 years of commercial construction experience, national reach, and the field perspective needed to turn a factory-built solution into a completed project that works on a real site.

Together, the companies are working to combine the factory and field sides of modular construction into one structured process.

That unified approach is where Precision and Fading West see some of the biggest opportunities in modular construction. When manufacturing and field construction are aligned early, project teams can reduce onsite complexity, manage risk, shorten schedules, and create a faster path to occupancy.

Connecting the Factory and the Field

One of modular construction’s biggest advantages is the ability to make progress on the project in two places at once. While Fading West is manufacturing the building, Precision is hard at work in the field.

But simply working in parallel does not guarantee a faster project. The decisions being made in the factory have to align with what is happening on the site and vice versa. Gaps between the manufacturer and GC can create unclear handoffs and assumptions that often lead to rework in the field that gives back some of the time savings modular construction is known to offer.

Making the factory and field part of the build team from the beginning changes that dynamic. Precision and Fading West can work through key decisions together earlier, coordinate the two schedules around one delivery plan, and help protect the schedule advantage that makes modular construction attractive in the first place.

For clients considering modular construction, the goal of this partnership is simple: make the process easier to understand, easier to manage, and better positioned to deliver meaningful schedule and cost advantages.

Why the Partnership Works

“At Fading West, our reputation depends on the partners we choose. That’s why we are proud to work alongside Precision Contractors.

Precision Contractors President and CEO Bob Hibbard sees the partnership as an opportunity to combine two teams that approach modular construction with a similar understanding of what it takes to make the delivery model work.

“By combining our experience and shared vision, we can offer the market a complete, integrated solution—from the client’s initial vision through Certificate of Occupancy. Fading West’s integrity, experience, customer-driven approach, and collaborative team align closely with our values and make them an ideal partner.”

For owners evaluating modular construction, Precision Contractors and Fading West can help assess the opportunity early and build a delivery plan around the realities of the project. That means getting better answers sooner about what a project will cost, how the factory and site schedules will come together, where potential risks need to be addressed, and whether modular can deliver a meaningful advantage for their project.
