About this event
To reduce cost and more effectively control schedules without compromising quality and safety, owners and contractors are looking to modernize construction. This includes productization, moving work offsite and the adoption of manufacturing-type production methods. Known as “Industrialized Construction,” this strategy can deliver significant benefit, but is not without challenges that cannot be addressed by accepted project management practices. This webinar will examine the application of Lean Production for Industrialized Construction, including common industry challenges to create a standard product and adopt a production-based business model, as well as what participants can do to effectively industrialize construction and get started on the journey.
