Designing for Offsite: How Early Decisions Shape Successful Modular Projects

Matthew Laase, AIA, NCARB, Principal; JACKSON | MAIN Architecture

Success in modular construction begins long before the first module enters the factory. This engaging session provides architects, engineers, developers, contractors, owners, and project teams with a practical roadmap for making offsite construction projects more efficient, coordinated, and successful. Through real-world examples and proven strategies, attendees will explore the critical planning and design decisions that determine whether a modular project reaches its full potential. Learn why early collaboration among manufacturers, design professionals, site contractors, and clients is essential, and discover how decisions involving module dimensions, transportation, materials, building systems, and unit layouts shape project outcomes. The session also highlights the fundamental differences between traditional and offsite construction, demonstrating how modular shifts complexity to the earliest stages of design, where strategic thinking delivers the greatest value. Rather than viewing modular requirements as limitations, participants will learn how thoughtful early coordination transforms constraints into opportunities for innovation, scalability, quality, and project success.

Navigating Modular Construction: A Practical Roadmap for Developers, Architects, & More

Modular construction offers compelling advantages for commercial and multi-family developers—faster timelines, tighter cost control, reduced site disruption, and consistent quality through factory-controlled processes. Join this session to explore the types of projects that work well for modular construction, project types better suited to traditional methods, the architect’s role in a modular project, how projects progress, and what drives project success. This session—geared for developers and architects entering or expanding into modular—will help demystify the process and equip attendees to make informed decisions for better project outcomes.

What's New in Colorado Housing Initiatives & Offsite Structures

Heather Hopwood, Project Manager, Colorado Department of Local Affairs

Offsite construction offers a powerful solution to Colorado’s affordable housing crisis by reducing construction time and costs, leading to economies of scale and more rapid deployment of units. Two years ago, Colorado made the largest single investment in the modular industry of any state. That investment builds on the past 55 years, during which Colorado has operated a state-wide offsite construction program, including code adoption and enforcement through plan reviews and inspections (both commercial and residential). In this session, leaders from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs will share what’s new in state housing initiatives, including an update on building codes and standards and Senate Bill 25-002, which aims to streamline rules and processes for structures build offsite.
