2025 Presentations
Inside Terner Labs Push to Expand Factory-Built Construction: Optimizing for Affordability
Tyler Pullen
Senior Technical Advisor
Terner Labs
California is a leader in thinking aggressively and quantitatively about solutions that address both affordable housing and sustainable construction. Likewise, Terner Labs—founded to complement the work of the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley—is helping scale real-world answers to some of the most pressing housing challenges anywhere. Tyler Pullen serves as senior technical advisor at Terner Labs and will talk about how offsite construction methods reduce the time and cost of construction while increasing the supply of affordable housing. He will also elaborate on regulatory challenges facing housing delivery, tools for policy decision-making, efforts to spur innovation and modernize construction methods, and opportunities for impactful intervention.
Mass Timber & the Future of Prefabrication & Offsite Construction
Sam Dicke
Manager of Client Development
Timberlab
Timberlab, a mass timber manufacturer and design assist partner, has been pushing the boundaries of prefabrication and offsite construction since their inception in 2017 when they worked on First Tech Federal Credit Union’s headquarters in Oregon. At the time, the project was the largest mass timber building in North America. Timberlab took a leap backwards in the supply chain in 2020, opening a fabrication and offsite facility in Portland and expanding operations nationwide with the opening of a South Carolina headquarters in 2023. In 2024, Timberlab acquired a large glulam manufacturer and in 2025 broke ground on their massive 200,000 square foot state-of-the-art cross laminated timber facility in Oregon. Timberlab has completed over 65 projects in 22 states across the US. Join Sam Dicke, Timberlab’s manager of client development, for a discussion on the importance of design coordination, manufacturing connection, and offsite assembly integration to deliver a successful mass timber project.
Containerized Construction: Market Insights, Demand Trends, & Emerging Applications
Maximilian Birner
Co-Founder & CEO
Boxhub
By 2030, the container modification industry is set to become a $147.6 billion market. Are you positioned to capitalize on this explosive growth? Do you know how containers are used in construction? Join Maximilian Birner, Co-Founder & CEO of Boxhub, as he explores exclusive data on high-demand container building types and compelling case studies in housing, retail, and healthcare. Gain insights into the economic and environmental advantages of container-based construction and explore how containers are being used to create resilient and attractive buildings for both permanent and relocatable needs.
Rooms as a Product: A New Way to Drive Speed, Savings, & Standardization for Hospitality & Multifamily Construction
RJ Mahadev
Co-Founder & CEO
RaaP Builders
Developers may struggle with justifying offsite construction because of perceived risk and higher costs. Design prototypes, however, optimized for modular fabrication, including standardized and documented MEP and structural connections, enables time and cost savings across design, fabrication, and construction. Join this interactive, case-based session, geared for architects, fabricators, developers, general contractors, and more to learn about successes and lessons-learned with a “Rooms as a Product” approach. Attendees will hear about the advantages of this approach regardless of role, how design prototypes are used to accelerate fabricator ramp time and throughput, and how the approach saves money and reduces risk.
