From 3 Months to 3 Weeks: How Design Unlocks Hybrid Construction's Potential

Thursday, February 4 | 11:00 - 11:30 AM LVCC - West 213 - Design Central

We've been building homes much the same way for 75 years, despite rising costs, labor shortages and pressure to build faster. Off-site construction offers an alternative, but prefabrication, panelization and volumetric modular systems each have limitations, especially when homes weren't designed for them from the start. Explore how a hybrid approach combining off-site fabrication with on-site assembly can change what's possible when design leads the process. Learn where each method works, where it falls short and how to design homes around these systems to improve efficiency, cost and quality. Discover how rethinking design and construction together could shrink a typical three-month build to just three weeks while making housing more attainable.
