Offsite Builder: “Hire for Attitude, Train for Skill”

Recently featured in Offsite Builder, B.PUBLIC Prefab’s hands-on installer training demonstrates how investing in people accelerates both company growth and broader industry adoption of high-performance prefabrication. The two-day program, hosted at the Las Vegas, NM factory, immerses participants in Passive House principles, practical sealing and rigging techniques, and coordinated panel installation — equipping even experienced builders with the mindset and skills needed for offsite construction.

Beyond technical instruction, the training embodies a core belief that attitude matters most: B.PUBLIC Prefab prioritizes individuals who are curious, adaptable, and eager to learn, reflecting the idea that companies should hire for attitude and train for skill (a philosophy underscored in the article). The result is not just workforce development for B.PUBLIC but a strengthening of the broader prefab community, inspiring builders and designers to rethink traditional construction approaches.
