A New Era of Disruptive Change
Nearly 10 years ago today, we were months away from the worst recession in decades and change is — once again — upon us. But this time, not in the form of financial crisis, but in technological revolution and strategic globalization.
So the question begs: How will your company thrive in the face of disruptive change? At the BuiltWorlds Summit 2019 this May, we’re hosting 300 of the most respected CEOs, executives, technologists and strategists to exchange ideas and solve for the future.

The Modularization and Prefabrication Revolution
Brian Gaudio, CEO, Module Housing | Raghi Iyengar, Founder, ManufactON
The presence of modularization and prefabrication is on the rise, creating more efficient construction process. Pre-assembling large parts of a project (and also entire rooms) means the less time spent on the jobsite. This also requires more efficient communication and collaboration among stakeholders. In this panel, we touch on what this means for company leaders at the forefront of the modularization revolution and the impact it has on how we build.

It’s not about replacing job functions, it’s more about allowing us to be more efficient with our human capital.
