Conventional prefab moves finished components from a factory to a site. That's a freight bill that scales with the build, not the run length.
CoGrid moves the factory. The forming machines fit in a 20ft container, draw under 7 kW intermittently, and produce parts in-theatre from galvanised steel sheet — a stock material available in nearly every market.
The substitution flips the cost stack. You pay for one container of tooling, then you pay for steel sheet. You stop paying for low-density, high-volume finished-component freight on every project.
The maths gets even better at multi-site programmes — the same forming unit produces parts for the next deployment without touching the supply chain.
