Post-Conference Focus Day

• Explore how modular clean rooms are becoming standard practice and why full volumetric modular GMP facilities remain niche but critical for speed-to-market.
• Discuss time savings of 6–8 months with prefab vs. stick-built solutions and its impact on competitive advantage.
• Examine supply chain constraints (e.g., HVAC lead times of 50–60 weeks) driving prefab adoption in pharma and healthcare.
• Highlight hybrid strategies—integrating modular elements within stick-built shells for flexibility and scalability.
• Consider union and regulatory challenges that complicate full prefab execution in healthcare and life sciences.

• Address regulatory complexity and lack of uniformity in state/local codes impacting modular adoption.
• Share strategies for pre-construction meetings with AHJs to build trust and avoid compliance bottlenecks.
• Explore remote inspection trends and digital QA/QC processes—opportunities and trust challenges.
• Discuss education initiatives for AHJs, architects, and developers to improve understanding of modular processes.
• Highlight market drivers: rural/remote healthcare projects and retail healthcare modules as prime candidates for modular solutions.

• Comparing traditional vs prefab project governance to set appropriate requirements without micromanaging
• Assessing which upfront decisions such as design approach, contract type and team selection most impact prefab viability
• Evaluating the specific qualifications owners should look for in designers and contractors to guarantee appropriate competency in prefab abilities

Healthcare construction is at a breaking point. Rising costs, labor shortages, and mounting pressure for speed demand a radical shift. This session dives into how modular integration can rescue projects from inefficiency and chaos—by uniting owners, designers, and trade partners under a bold vision for standardization. The time for incremental change is over; the future of healthcare delivery depends on decisive action now.

• Revolutionizing healthcare construction through modular strategies that slash timelines and reduce risk
• Forging powerful alliances between owners, design teams, and trade partners to overcome fragmentation and accelerate adoption
• Turning lessons into leverage—using hard-earned insights from past projects to set new benchmarks for speed and quality
• Building resilient standards that scale across portfolios without sacrificing flexibility for specialized clinical spaces

Ask the Experts: In an informal, more intimate setting, you will be able to ask the questions that will enable you to impact prefab adaption the next day

• Sit down with the Speakers: All presenters will be spread out across discussion groups to process the presentations and discussion
• Build Relationships: Enhance your network and continue to grow information sharing across disciplines, companies and regions toward solving the construction industry’s biggest challenges
• Get Real: Move beyond the same old themes and get to real lessons learned. This will tee up the final Owner’s Panel to focus on questions and discussion from YOU, the audience.

• Breaking Barriers & Overcoming Resistance: Address fears around cost, quality, and failure; Strategies include education, factory visits, and strong leadership champions.
• Lessons Learned & Practical Strategies: Build trust internally, find regional partners, manage union concerns, and leverage modular for prototyping and operational alignment.
• Future Vision – The Blue Ocean: Define the ideal state: systemic transformation, full volumetric adoption, and owner-led supply chain innovation.
