From Firefighting to Operational Control: Manufacturing Non‑Negotiables for Scaling Prefab Webinar The first two webinars focused on why and how to scale prefab. Now, we'll focus on what it takes to stay in control as you do. As prefab manufacturing scales, complexity increases. Communication breaks down, issues linger, and leaders spend more time reacting to problems than driving performance. The most successful manufacturers don't solve this with more meetings, more rep

As more contractors pursue ISO certification in response to increased procurement of complex prefabricated mechanical systems as owner-furnished equipment, expectations for consistency, quality and predictability continue to rise. Achieving certification is one step; sustaining that level of operational performance in daily practice is another. This session is designed for contractors looking to understand what it takes to move from “getting ISO” to “being ISO.” Too often, IS

We're excited to announce that our own Stephen Hayes has been selected as a 2026–2027 Senior Research Fellow with the Center for Offsite Construction (CfOC) at New York Institute of Technology. The Senior Research Fellow title is awarded to a limited group of professionals and thought leaders who can think clearly, critique constructively, and help move the Center’s projects forward. For Stephen, the fellowship is an opportunity to apply his experience to one of the construct

From drawings to Defined work content On Tuesday, July 21, 2026, presenters Sally Mizell, Coleton Calendar, and Melissa McEwen presented the next topic in ICG's webinar series: Manufacturing Non-Negotiables for Scaling Prefab: From Drawings to Defined Work Content. The next frontier of industrialized construction will be defined by those who master Production Planning. Too often, work still arrives on the floor still carrying the ambiguity of field construction. Crews adapt.

Hunt Electric's Beyond the Breaker podcast recently featured Melissa McEwen, Nick Masci, and Allison Nelson, who share their innovative approaches to revolutionizing traditional construction methods. Part 1: Pioneering a New Era in Construction In the first episode, Melissa and Nick introduce the concept of industrialized construction, emphasizing the shift from traditional stick-built methods to a more integrated, manufacturing-inspired approach. “We’re in the midst of a meg

ICG recently kicked off its webinar series Production Systems for Industrialized Construction webinar series with a focused conversation around a familiar challenge: How to scale production without scaling labor. While labor is often the first constraint teams point to, the discussion quickly moved to something deeper—the production system behind it. In many prefabrication operations, work is still planned and managed using approaches rooted in field construction. Schedules d
