Industrialized Construction Forum 2019

February 21, 2019 @ 8:30 am - 5:00 pm PST

The 5th Annual Industrialized Construction Forum 2019 will take place on February 21st, 2019 in Stanford, California, United States. Industrialized Construction continues to spread as a movement across the globe. In this year’s forum, we will hear from leaders and innovators of ongoing IC movements in the UK, Sweden, Hong Kong, Switzerland and Mexico. The discussion will continue with new ideas and entrepreneurial ventures to be applied in North America.

Founded in 2014, the mission of the IC Forum is to be the premier hub for industry knowledge exchange among the growing community of Industrialized Construction experimenters, innovators, and startups in the Bay Area and across the globe.

The term Industrialized Construction is intentionally broad to include emerging business models for off-site and prefab while looking forward to the application of future technologies such as 3D printing and robotics.

  • The following themes have been of interest in recent (and upcoming) forums:
  • Increasing Sustainability and Productivity through Offsite Construction
  • Conceptualizing the Building as a Product
  • Using Platforms to link the Supply Chain from Digital Design to Manufacturing to Logistics to Installation
  • Organizing and Financing New Business Models for Industrialized Construction Ventures
  • Using Industrialized Construction to Address the Housing Crisis
  • Exploring new applications of 3D Printing and Robotics for Construction
  • Using Industry 4.0 to Resist Downturns and Build Scalable Solutions
  • Learning from an International Movement of Industrialized Construction
