$The Future Is Panelized: Building Better with Precision, Performance and Efficiency in Mind Just as the assembly line transformed auto manufacturing, the building industry is on the verge of a revolution of its own with offsite construction. We will explore the promise of panelized construction rooted in building science and the solutions it brings for builders biggest challenges from overcoming labor shortages and jobsite delays, to streamlining specification for optimum performance and efficiency, material waste reduction, and more. Attendees will get an in-depth look at the offsite construction process, the design and development of wall and roof systems, and a data-rich case study that brings the benefits of embracing this new era of building to life. The end result: Residential construction that takes a fraction of the time on-site, with unrivaled quality and performance to take your business to the next level. Continuing Education Units (CEUS) submitted 1 hour in* • Green Business Certification Inc.
