There's Value in the West

The last several years have seen incredible growth of the value methodologies in Western Canada. The recent establishment of the Value Analysis Canada - Western Group is only the most recent indicator. Between rapidly growing municipalities and a private sector that increasingly sees the need to incorporate Value Analysis into its operations and projects, there is great and growing need for value professionals on this frontier.

BUILDING FASTER & CHEAPER — OFFSITE CONSTRUCTION AND MODULARIZATION

The construction industry is facing skills shortages, productivity problems and concerns about sustainability and safety. This is directly impacting the quality, speed and cost of delivering projects in accordance with expectations. The industry is increasingly turning to offsite and modular construction where much of the “building” takes place in a controlled factory environment with the finished product being transported to the project site.

This seminar will explore the following

• What are the traditional construction approaches adopted by the industry?
• What are the existing faster/cheaper alternatives used and how successful are they?
• What are the recent and emerging solutions and what benefits do they offer?
• What is an example of a case study of a successful project using off-site construction?
• What is the value proposition of off-site construction, with examples of costing?
• What are the challenges/hurdles in adopting and how are they overcome?
