The Necessary Evolution: How Three Companies are Instigating 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, high performance, and Passive House objectives.

The session will explore how three companies have built their businesses around offsite manufacturing principles and have developed strategies to “unsilo” stakeholders’ roles.
Each presents a distinctive approach to the “pre-manufacturing” process for high performance buildings. The speakers will highlight effective strategies used to achieve beautiful, scalable, and efficient projects.

Women are playing a key role in this new construction paradigm. The three presenters play diverse roles within their companies, and as such, will showcase how a range of crossover job opportunities exist between the construction, design, architecture, engineering and business sectors.
