    What It's About

    Hybrid construction integrates offsite systems—such as modular or panelized components—with your existing construction practices to deliver homes more efficiently and profitably. This session explores how builders are successfully utilizing these systems to control costs, ease labor pressures, and speed delivery without sacrificing customization or quality. Whether you’re new to structural components, ready for full modular or panelized or somewhere in between, learn how to evaluate the true costs of hybrid approaches, understand when and where they deliver the most value, and see real-world examples of builders boosting margins, cutting waste, and building smarter by relying on offsite precision within their projects.

    What You’ll Learn

    • Define hybrid construction and evaluate the strengths, limitations, and fit of modular, panelized, and site-built systems.
    • Understand the true costs of framing and offsite systems, and how to measure ROI across labor, materials, and overhead.
    • Discover practical strategies to integrate structural components and hybrid methods into projects for efficiency and profitability.
    • Explore real-world case studies showing how hybrid systems improve speed, reduce risk, and enhance long-term business sustainability.
