Building People, Building Modular Inside Culture-Driven Growth | Bridging the Gap Podcast Ep. 337
What happens when a modular construction company leads with people first? Jon Scott of Creative Modular Construction joins the show to share how their motto—“We build people. We build buildings.”—is more than a slogan; it’s the engine behind their remarkable growth.
Jon walks through how CMC develops leaders on the shop floor, supports individuals from all backgrounds, and creates a culture where trust, purpose, and personal transformation translate directly into performance.
We also discuss how CMC’s people-first mindset has made it easier to adopt new processes and technologies (like Strucsoft) as they scale, blending craftsmanship, innovation, and culture into a resilient modular workflow.
You’ll Learn:
-How CMC builds a people-first culture that drives productivity and retention
-Why investing in personal growth leads to stronger teams and better outcomes
-How trust and purpose accelerate technology adoption and process improvements
-What culture-building looks like in a fast-paced modular fabrication environment
-How CMC is evolving its workflows as it scales its modular operations
A powerful episode for anyone interested in modular construction, leadership development, or building high-performing teams through culture.
