7:30 am Check-In & Morning Coffee
Workshop A
8:30 am Optimizing When & What to Prefabricate: Learn what Works, When It Works, & Why
Prefabrication has shifted from an optional innovation to a core operational strategy for delivering mechanical and plumbing systems at the speed today’s market demands. With increasing project complexity, shrinking labour pools, and tighter schedules, contractors need approaches that reliably increase capacity and improve accuracy.
This workshop will gather experts to discuss:
- Build a scalable prefabrication operation; this will cover shop layout, labour planning, pricing, hidden costs, KPIs, workflows that maximise productivity
- Identify high value prefabrication opportunities that boost capacity, shorten schedules, and ensure BIM-to-fab accuracy
- Strengthen cross-functional alignment and organizational buy-in by reliably demonstrating prefabs efficiency gains and competitive advantages
10:30 am Morning Networking Break
Workshop B
11:00 am Improving Daily Operations Through Real-Time Visibility, Smoother Workflows, & Accurate Designs & Evaluating the Use of Digitalization for Maximum Output
Digitalization has become imperative in improve workflow visibility, strengthening coordination across teams, and leveraging design technologies that enhance accuracy and speed. As contractors face rising expectations for efficiency and tighter alignment between design and field execution, digital tools are unlocking smarter, more predictable project delivery.
This workshop will gather experts to discuss:
- Integrate digital tools into existing workflows to boost efficiency, enhance BIM/VDC accuracy, and improve labour and productivity reporting
- Eliminate inefficiencies and strengthen workforce buy-in by demonstrating how technology is reducing workload- not jobs
- Leverage advanced AI and improved design-to-field coordination to enhance forecasting, decision-making, and cross-functional communication
1:00 pm Networking Lunch
Workshop C
2:00 pm Strengthening Cross-Functional Buy-In & Understanding it’s Importance in Consistent, Effective Prefabrication Execution
The construction labour shortage is long-standing, but the surge in mission-critical projects has intensified its impact. To stay competitive, contractors must strengthen leadership practices and create a culture that attracts, attains, and engages talent.
This workshop will equip you with the practical strategies to:
- Incentivising teams to adopt digital tools and workflows to increase consistency, prevent friction, and enhance overall productivity
- Aligning field teams, managers, and leadership around shared goals to build organisation-wide commitment from senior leadership through to implementation that drives better execution and stronger results
- Highlighting the benefits of industry advancement and the use of BIM in producing clear task ownership to help crews work more efficiently
