A different prefabrication and modular construction sector came out of the pandemic. Ambitious startups such as Skender Manufacturing and Katerra folded in the last few years, while one major health care designer lamented an industrywide pullback that saw many of the suppliers they work with cut back on custom, by-project fabrication to standardize on products like headwalls and bathroom pods.

Demands from clients and labor shortages are forcing some contractors into other methods of creating building assemblies, driving new investments in prefabrication and modular construction techniques.

Research focusing on modular and offsite construction has shown remarkable statistics not just for construction, but for the wider environment as well.

IFS Cloud lets you create and manage in real time.

In a recent webinar, construction experts from IFS and Bryden Wood discussed how converging technologies can deliver: cost and time savings, the ability to meet the modern challenges of construction and a sustainable way of working.

Offsite manufacturing or modular construction is increasingly being seen as an opportunity to drive change across the construction industry.

The nearly 1.4-million-sq-ft 200 Park high-rise in San José, Calif., though only 300 ft tall, has taken Seattle’s 850-ft-tall proof of concept for SpeedCore—a novel modular steel-plate shear-wall sandwich system—to new heights.
