Optimizing End-to-End Workflow Integration
8:10 am Streamlining Workflows Across the Full Value Chain to Eliminate Inefficiencies & Achieve End-to-End Visibility
- Highlighting strategies to connect every stage – from design and procurement through fabrication, QA/QC, logistics, and installation – for a fully integrated delivery model that reduces waste and rework
- Exploring the latest strategies and frameworks that enable real-time visibility and coordination between BIM, estimating, production, and field teams to keep projects on track
- Defining critical milestones, assigning ownership, and standardizing processes across regions to drive alignment and secure buy-in
8:50 am Case Study: Exploring Lessons Learned from Design to Delivery for Modular Electrical Rooms to Unlock Schedule Certainty
- Unpacking the full process from design to shop assembly to site installation, including coordination milestones and efficient communication strategies
- Sharing hard truths on cost and complexity of transporting large modules, and how teams balanced logistics with schedule gains
- Highlighting wins and lessons learned on time savings, labor reduction, and other key ROI indicators
- Coordinating with owners to modify specifications/submittal processes to enable the introduction of modular solutions mid-project, ensuring alignment without derailing schedules
9:30 am Session Reserved for AECInspire
10:00 am Morning Networking Break
This Power Hour is structured around the maturity levels that matter most to you. Starting in ‘Launching’, ‘Intermediate’, or ‘Advanced’ groups for focused conversations with peers facing similar challenges, you’ll then rotate, giving you the chance to engage with others across the full prefab maturity spectrum. It’s a fast, structured way to build meaningful connections and spark new ideas.
Powering Prefab with BIM & Detailing
11:00 am Improving BIM–Shop Collaboration to Optimize Tool Selection & Prefab Coordination
- Highlighting strategies to engage shop teams early in BIM conversations to align tool choices with modeling requirements and speed up installation
- Exploring practical approaches to break down silos between BIM and fabrication teams, ensuring both groups see value in collaboration
- Discussing how integrated workflows reduce errors and enable faster adoption of tools that support prefab-ready designs
11:30 am Session Reserved for Sanveo
12:00 pm Spark Connections: Peer-to-Peer Knowledge Sharing
Get ready to spark conversations and build lasting connections! This dedicated networking session is designed to be the perfect environment for meaningful dialogue, shared challenges, and practical insights. Through a focused, peer-led forum, you’ll get the chance to explore high-impact topics such as quantifying prefab ROI, leveraging automation to streamline workflows, confidently pricing prefab-focused BIM services, and expanding your capacity with trusted third-party partnerships, to name a few. Whether you’re looking to exchange ideas, discover innovative approaches, or simply expand your professional circle, this is another prime chance to connect, collaborate, and ask your peers any burning questions
