inhibit modular construction? - Understand the key barriers in affordable housing
design and delivery and how we adapted these to
support the opportunity of volumetric modular - Share lessons learned from three initial permanent
supportive housing modular projects in San Francisco

12.00 | 9.00 Meet the Speaker & Speed Networking
During the hour after the morning sessions, all attendees will have the option of staying in the session rooms to continue Q&A and discussion time with speakers, or head across to our speed networking area. This is your opportunity to meet 1-2-1 with other attendees to establish new industry contacts. The hour will be split into three market-specific sessions, so lease make sure you join only at the right time for your specific interests!

Adaptability
- Understand the structural requirements of different offsite approaches and how this must form the basis of
conceptual design - Revealing how teams can begin conceiving of their space modularly to not only maximize efficiency of new
construction, but better afford flexibility and adaptability later in the facility lifecycle - Collaborate with designers, contractors and modular partners to help bring in the right expertise and support development of more innovative concepts
- Discuss barriers that remain to making this process more efficient and the additional value that has been achieved by teams taking this approach
Shawn Maley, Senior Associate, Stantec
2.10 | 11.10 Becoming a Change Agent to Inspire True Collaboration Among the Wider Project Team
- Ensure all team members have a clear understanding and alignment of what it takes, and the workflows and
systems associated with success on the job from day one - Inspire partners less experienced with design-assist to step out of their lane early in design to maximize their
seat at the table - Provide training and development of leaders on projects to ensure proper direction, culture, and accountability is
maintained from start to finish
Bradley Lukanic, Chief Executive Officer, Cannon Design

2.50 | 11.50 The Architect’s Perspective: What Needs to Happen to Improve Efficiency in Design Workflows for Offsite Construction?
- How can we better engage architects with prefabrication
and manage change to make offsite construction a
standard consideration - Understand how design thinking and scoping changes
when prefabrication is introduced, even prior to the
architectural contract starting - Mapping out best practices in design for prefabrication:
What are the changes to traditional workflows, tasks and
relationships with project partners to optimize DFmA?
Thomas Gluck, Principal, GLUCK+
2.50 | 11.50 The Demain Consortium: Leveraging Data & Strategic Partnerships to Drive Prefabrication
- Mapping out the journey and advantages of developing
strategic partnerships to drive innovation - Learn how an engineer and contractor leveraged unique
workflows to drive a healthcare HVAC project - Understand the journey and advantages of assimilating
an engineering firm with a contractor’s pre-construction
department - Evaluate how data can drive beyond prefabrication into manufacturing for utility scale solar projects

integrates designers and modular partners in a truly
collaborative relationship from programming to installation - Establish robust communication channels to share files
and effectively document design development to reduce
rework, inefficiencies, and maximize transparency at every
