Description
| Successful prefabrication requires a process to be developed with all stakeholders in mind, as well as a goal of lowest installed cost. This session will discuss how prefabricated work is planned, including how to determine what work can be externalized, process and product development, and the continuous feedback required. As prefab becomes more of the norm than the exception in the industry, the ability to manage this process and make it profitable will become essential to electrical contractors. |
