Scott Sedam — Principal, TrueNorth Consulting - MiTek
May 15th at 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM, Room: Room 1

The potential benefits of offsite building & components have intrigued the industry since the introduction of the Sears Modern Home kits in the 1910s, more than 100 years ago. Yet, the onsite vs. offsite debate remains unsettled and widespread adoption remains elusive. Why? There are constant articles and blog posts listing many reasons, most of which are valid, but all are missing the single biggest factor; builders have lacked a comprehensive evaluation tool that measures the true cost of both methods, instead relying on a bid-price only comparison which leaves critical questions unanswered. Solving the housing crisis, however, necessarily requires a greater adoption of off-site components. This session offers a comprehensive new model, never before approached in the industry. Based on exhaustive input from builders, suppliers, trades, architects, and engineers, the “Onsite vs. Offsite Evaluation Tool” examines the 25 unique factors critical to onsite vs. offsite construction methods that will enable the best, most cost-effective decisions for your business. An Excel Template will be provided to help you make these true total calculations for your business.
