New Mexico’s growing popularity presents an opportunity to develop innovative affordable housing models for its expanding population. Fortunately, one woman-owned, public-benefit corporation has stepped up to the challenge. B.PUBLIC Prefab launched in 2019 to make climate-friendly homes more accessible for residents. To do so, the company creates high-performance, prefabricated assemblies that expedite the building process.

B.PUBLIC Prefab produced sustainable components, such as floors, walls and roof, for the forum. These prefabricated materials act as "the thermal envelope for a building" and will use 90% less energy than other buildings like it, said Jonah Stanford, co-founder and chief technical officer of B.PUBLIC Prefab. This novel, and green, approach to building is one of the reasons B.PUBLIC Prefab was chosen to work on the project, Tom Easterson-Bond, the in-house architect for SFI, told the Journal.

CEO and Co-Founder Edie Dillman says that the company has a strong commitment to the sharing of knowledge. “We focus on education that supports a builder’s evolution to hybrid site construction, assisted by offsite; on owner education about sustainability and performance; and on helping architects evolve their practice to higher code [requirements], lower carbon impacts and [greater use of] technology.”

We attended Build Show LIVE in Austin, Texas and had a blast partnering with Retrotec and joining them in their booth at the show.

Today, Terner Labs announced the inaugural cohort of ventures for its Builders Lab. The Builders Lab is an accelerator program that works with innovators in architecture, engineering, construction and hardware to scale efficient, cost-effective and sustainable methods of housing delivery across the U.S.

Shape Architecture and B.PUBLIC Prefab are thrilled to announce their trailblazing design collaboration, leveraging their combined expertise to deliver a series of high-performance, high-quality, and delightful home plans. This partnership, marked by innovation and sustainability, will see the monthly release of new signature home plans available for licensing through the remainder of 2024.

The flyer waves like a flag. Las Vegas, New Mexico has a new wall in town thanks to our PHriends at B.Public Prefab. Their commitment to the development of regionally focused green manufacturing and builder training is taking a great stride this season. The launch of a new R&D manufacturing facility in Las Vegas, NM and the hosting of our first builder training event in December is a great way to wrap up an active 2022 and boost the 2023 construction season.
