The Offsite Construction movement is all about systemizing our industry’s processes for how buildings get designed and built. For this month’s panel, we want to showcase some of the cutting-edge companies working to implement design + building systems that are faster, more efficient, and better for the planet and our health than traditional, stick-built construction.
For this panel, we’ll be learning about these companies' systems and asking these questions:
1. What are the main differences between your building system and traditional construction?
2. What benefits does your system bring to the end-user – the homeowner? Why would they want it?
3. What kind of building materials / products are compatible with your system?
4. What has been the biggest obstacle to getting your system approved at the building department or state level?
5. What is one of your system's highlight projects? What successes or achievements did it bring?
