​Meet Daniel Small – Founder, Da Vinci Consulting

For over 20 years, I’ve worked in and around construction—first as an engineer, then as an executive, and now as a Lean consultant dedicated to one mission: helping offsite factories operate like world-class production systems.

​

I got into Lean because I saw firsthand how chaotic, wasteful, and inefficient most construction workflows are—especially in offsite. Unlike every other physical product industry, construction hasn’t industrialized. And that’s a problem.

​

The world needs more housing. More schools. More infrastructure. And the only way to meet that demand is by making the process faster, leaner, and smarter.

​

Offsite made immediate sense to me as an engineer. It offers the predictability, scalability, and quality control traditional construction lacks. But most offsite factories are still underperforming—not because the model is broken, but because the process hasn’t been optimized.

​

That’s where LeanOffsite™ comes in.

​

I’ve helped modular manufacturers, panelizers, and prefab contractors reduce cycle times by 40–80%, double throughput, and build a culture of continuous improvement without adding more labor. If you’re ready to unlock that kind of performance in your factory, I’d love to talk.​
