September 12th, 2018 The construction industry is at a crossroads, and large general contractors need to change or they will go the wayof the horse and carriage. Off-site construction is one of the main tools general contractors need to leverage inorder to flourish.

The benefits of off-site construction are well known, and include vastly improved safety and quality, and reducedon-site labor, schedule and cost. The technology and concepts associated with prefabrication are not new, difficultor particularly innovative, however efforts to use it on large construction projects often fail. The rare timesprefabrication efforts lead to success, the associated learning and advancements often then fail to make it ontosubsequent projects, and are too often lost to organizations.

In this presentation, Xavier will provide a brief introduction to prefabrication and modularization, then detail howand why these efforts fail, and most importantly, what changes are required to ensure its success. The buildingenvelope is one of the most expensive and essential elements of most building projects, and Xavier will also usemany examples to explain the many ways that off-site construction has and can be utilized to improve the productionand installation of this essential element.
