A Necessary Evolution: Three Companies Instigate Change via Offsite Construction
To achieve mass adoption of offsite construction, the building process as we know it has to be reevaluated from multiple perspectives. This is especially true when combined with the goals of scaling up low-carbon and high-performance objectives. The session will explore how the three primarily residential companies have built their businesses around offsite manufacturing principles and have developed strategies to “unsilo” the industry. By focusing on collaboration instead of competition, problem solving instead of finger pointing, and true participation at all levels, each company has achieved successes which stand in stark contrast to the siloed workflows found in typical construction.
