Overview
We’re experiencing a boom of ideas, passion, and capital to advance the homebuilding industry, but leading change can be tricky. Consistent and targeted R&D commitments create the opportunity to unlock value for forward-thinking organizations. But what does it mean to embrace these concepts and how do we de-risk the journey?
Marissa Kasdan shares how KTGY’s R+D Studio activates design solutions to address demographic and societal trends with highlights of potential new building technologies. Chris Fox discusses how Van Metre Homes uses off-site construction techniques to elevate their operations and enhance the customer experience while reducing their environmental footprint. Brent Wadas addresses the role of AI and robotics to solve productivity, quality, and attainability for factory-built housing solutions.
