2025 Presentation Details
Atlanta’s Cooper Street: Offsite Construction Concept-to-Completion
Andy Miller, Executive Vice President, Affinity Modular
Construction begins soon on Atlanta's latest plan to provide housing to its most vulnerable residents amid a larger effort to end homelessness in the downtown area before the city hosts eight 2026 FIFA World Cup matches. The project is another nudge forward in Mayor Andre Dickens' goal to build 500 rapid housing units by the end of the year and a plan by Partners for Home—the nonprofit organization that is managing Atlanta's strategy to reduce homelessness—to house 400 people within that same timeframe. The project also includes 70 market-rate townhomes giving families opportunities to stay, invest, and build generational wealth in the neighborhood. Zoning laws, building codes, and community preferences all factor into how and where state-of-the-art modular units for the project will be built. In this session, join Andy Miller, executive vice president at Affinity Modular, as he takes attendees through the Cooper Street project concept-to-completion.
How to Implement a Modular Construction Project
Q&A with a Panel of Industry Experts
Implementing modular construction involves several key steps and considerations, such as site preparation, module fabrication, transportation, and assembly onsite. The payoff? Benefits like reduced construction time, reduced waste, cost savings, improved quality control, and safer environments for workers are all inherent to modular construction. Join this distinguished panel of industry experts including an architect, modular manufacturer, general contractor, and end-user as they “pull back the curtain” on how to successfully implement a modular building project. Topics will include securing financing, early engagement of design professionals, how modules are built and installed, relevant building codes, and more.
Modular Construction in the Built-for-Rent Market
Kelly Williams, Vice President of Business Development, Impact Housing
In an increasingly tight and expensive market, built-for-rent (BFR) housing provides tenants more privacy than an apartment building, quick return on investment for developers, easier maintenance options for landlords, and even greater acceptance from existing neighbors. The idea? Primarily to group single-family homes together to form communities, often with more amenities than apartment buildings. With offsite construction, BFR homes arrive to the site up to 90 percent complete and can be finished a lot faster than traditional single-family subdivisions. Kelly Williams, vice president of business development at Impact Housing, will share how one company is using single- and multi-family modular construction to push the boundaries of rental housing.
Smart Pods, Smart Cities: Driving Efficiency, Innovation, and Sustainability Through Modular Prefabrication
Mitchell Sklar, PE, Director of Strategic Development, ReSIA Manufacturing, LLC
As the construction industry grapples with rising costs, labor shortages, and increasing sustainability demands, the convergence of digital tools and modular construction offers a timely solution. This session will explore how ReSIA Manufacturing is redefining project delivery through prefabricated bathroom and kitchen modules that integrate seamlessly with Building Information Modeling (BIM) and AI-driven planning workflows. ReSIA’s approach bridges technology and practicality, enhancing speed, quality, and cost control while supporting sustainable development goals. Attendees will learn how these modules are not only transforming construction timelines but also helping developers meet ESG targets and future-proof their projects. This presentation will feature a blend of digital coordination strategies, real-world case studies, and material innovations, demonstrating how modular components play a critical role in building smarter, more resilient cities.
