From Kits of Parts to Market Ecosystems: A Systems View of Industrialized Construction
For more than a decade, industrialized construction has been framed as a story of prefabricated components and repeatable kits of parts. While that approach has delivered meaningful gains in safety, quality, and speed, it represents only the baseline of what is possible. Join Amy Marks, SVP, Innovation & Sustainability at Compass Datacenters, and their partners in a session that reframes industrialized construction through a systems thinking lens. Drawing on real-world owner experience, it explores how value creation, risk, and predictability change at each layer of integration, why many industrialization efforts stall despite widespread prefabrication, and how people and culture, not components, are the true constraints. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for understanding where their organization is today, where value is being left on the table, and what it takes to move from parts optimization to durable, market-shaping industrialized construction.
