8:00 am Check-In & Morning Coffee
8:50 am Chair’s Opening Remarks
Ensuring Logistics Excellence: Smarter Material Flow, Early Forecasting, & Standardized Delivery for More Predictable Prefabrication
9:00 am Designing Efficient Shop Layouts to Minimize Production Delays & Accelerate Prefabrication Output
- Maximizing shop capacity by understanding material flow, storage limitations, and how quickly materials consume capacity for optimal output
- Improving space planning, trailer-packing logistics, and communication to reduce waste, rework, and shop congestion
- Assessing strategies like just-in-time delivery or on-site fabrication as viable solutions to reduce shipment costs and improve project efficiency
9:40 am Panel Discussion: Standardizing Workflows to Streamline Logistics, Accelerate Delivery, and Improve Project Management
- Constructing a repeatable end-to-end production system across model, shop, and field using standardized workflows, assemblies, and packaging to eradicate handover friction and field uncertainty
- Embedding standardization into daily operations with clear ownership and end-to-end tracking from shop to site for improved visibility, control flow, and forecasting
- Utilizing consistent fabrication frameworks to create predictable delivery, shorten timelines, and establish reliable profit margins
10:10 am Morning Networking Break
Protecting Profit Margins Through Smarter Investment, Tighter Cost Control, & Better Coordination
11:15 am Audience Discussion: Accountability, & Smart Investment to Protect Margins & Improve Predictability
- Evaluating investments in equipment, automation, and facility expansion using ROI driven forecasting to make confident growth decisions and maximize long-term financial returns
- Tracking logistics costs and tightening cost controls to prevent projects from exceeding budget and protecting margins
- Strengthening accountability through structure cost-tracking, defined ownership of budget elements, and transparent reporting to reduce margin leakage and improve predictability
11:45 am Improving Coordination to Reduce Costs, Shorten Timelines, & Protect Project Margins
- Establishing transparent processes and clear accountability between design and field teams to ensure equipment accuracy, prevent rework and protect profit margins
- Incorporating teams into coordination earlier to prevent overruns and stick to budget parameters
- Leveraging real-time coordination platforms and smarter clash-resolution software’s to shrink meeting time, accelerate decision making, and cut project timelines
12:15 pm Case study: How Small Contractors are Winning with Prefabrication: Proven Strategies to Compete, Scale, & Deliver More with Less
- Debunking the notion that only large firms can be successful with prefabrication and understanding that smaller firms achieve high output without large-scale resources
- Learning the practical tools, technologies, and standardisation methods that ensure small teams boost accuracy and stay competitive
- Understand the cultural, financial, and leadership approaches that enable small contractors to adopt prefab successfully and grow profitably
12:45 pm Networking Lunch
Maximizing BIM’s Value: Strengthening Accountability, Field Input, & Communication for Predictable Project Delivery
1:45 pm Creating a Streamlined Communication Chain from Design-to-Field, Eliminating Potential Failure Points, & Maximizing the Value of BIM for Project Delivery
- Establishing clear accountability, realistic cost boundaries, and stronger communication between BIM technicians and field teams to ensure accurate information flows from the start
- Aligning engineers, designers, and field crews early in the project lifecycle to ensure consistent drawings, avoid premature sign-offs, and prevent last-minute costly design changes
- Building structured timelines for BIM coordination, approvals, and drawing returns to accelerate project readiness and maximize field productivity from day one
2:15 pm Leveraging Field Expertise in BIM: Reducing Rework, Improving Design Accuracy, & Protecting Schedules
- Establishing pathways for field experts to contribute directly to design to ensure BIM models reflect real-world installation needs and eliminate costly disconnects
- Integrating subcontractors or field-experienced specialists into design teams to validate constructability and avoid design decisions that are not appropriate in the field
- Utilizing field-driven insight to strengthen BIM implementation practices to produce more accurate, fabrication-ready documents and reduce rework during project implementation
2:45 pm Afternoon Networking Break
