Building owners, architects, engineers and contractors are under increasing pressure to meet stringent new energy codes, even while facing competitive markets and having to contain costs of the construction value stream.
This is causing the construction industry to rethink building design and to develop innovative building construction methods that address these concerns. At the same time, cost pressures will always be present so any construction method that can compress construction timelines and allocate labor to the best task for efficiency and cost will be pivotal.
