Construction labor shortages, shrinking trade pools, supply chain disruptions, and the rise of a technology-driven economy highlight the need for a shift in building practices. Off-site construction methods such as volumetric modular construction provide a solution by enabling housing authorities, developers, and owners to deliver high-quality housing more effectively than traditional methods. This session explores how these techniques were effectively applied in a Minneapolis residential community and discuss the industry's broader labor challenges, as highlighted at the recent ULI Trends conference in Phoenix, AZ. Off-site construction requires a significant shift from traditional practices, demanding new approaches in financing, design, regulation, and thinking to fully leverage its benefits. Join us to understand these changes and prepare for an industry paradigm shift, exemplified by 'The Eddi,' a case study that offers practical insights for embracing off-site construction.
