Case Studies on Creating Modular Affordable Housing

Adam Berger, Owner/Developer, Adam Berger Development, LLC

Christopher Herr, Design Director, Adam Berger Development, LLC

LOCATION-ARROW Monet 1

Volumetric modular construction plays an important role in meeting the increasing demand for affordable and equitable housing. This technology-driven methodology radically changes the way projects are brought to market. Its primary aim is to standardize and streamline antiquated building practices, while still delivering a quality and equitable living experience.

Join this case-based session to learn lessons from the design, permitting, financing, and construction of affordable housing using volumetric modular methods and how modular and offsite construction advances and promotes alternative ways of building successful communities. Featured case studies include:

• West Holden Place, a 77-unit, 6-story multifamily project in Denver, Colorado;

• Emporia Street Duplexes, a 12-unit modular affordable duplex project in Aurora, Colorado;

• Teller Place, a 50-unit, 5-story attainable multifamily project in Arvada, Colorado; and

• Cherokee Place, a 65-unit, 5-story attainable multifamily project in Englewood, Colorado.

Contracting for modular projects can be difficult for parties due to the variability in terms and conditions throughout the industry. A contract that is suitable for a modular builder delivering bathroom pods may not be suitable for another who is designing and building volumetric modules that make up the majority of the project.

AIA Contract Documents has released a set of new coordinated agreements to help bring standardization for parties involved in volumetric modular construction projects.

Join this session to learn about:

• unique contracting issues for the volumetric modular delivery method,

• rationale behind provisions in these new agreements, and

• best practices for mitigating legal exposure.

From Vision to Reality: Developing a Roadmap for Accessible Automation

Jan-Christoph Bruhn, Head of Sales and Key Account Management, KUKA Assembly & Test GmbH

Cooper Lane, Vice President, Sales, Reko Automation Group Inc.

LOCATION-ARROW Monet 4

Most industry leaders recognize the necessity of advancing their shop floors towards automation to address current challenges such as rising costs, substandard quality, and a shortage of skilled labor. However, they often lack concrete strategies to implement these changes effectively and in a cost-efficient manner.

Join this case-based session to learn:

• the potential for automation and when it may be justified,

• challenges and pitfalls that must be addressed while maintaining a focus on economic considerations,

• how to move from concept to implementation, and

• the process for achieving intelligent and scalable solutions (whether for a small cell or entire plant).

Hidden Cost Driver in Modular Construction: Rethinking Field Labor Efficiency

Apoorva Pasricha, Chief Operating Officer, Cloud Apartments

Matthew Rapa, VP of Construction, Cloud Apartments

LOCATION-ARROW Da Vinci 3/4

While the modular construction industry has focused heavily on factory automation, data reveals that approximately 67% of total construction costs occur in the field. Rethinking field connections can dramatically reduce labor costs, accelerate project timelines, and create a fundamental shift in modular construction economics, potentially solving one of the industry's most persistent challenges in achieving true cost competitiveness with traditional construction.

Join this session to learn how innovations in three critical areas – a snap-fit MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) system, a precision alignment system, and an advanced structural connection method – can transform both the technical execution and business economics of modular construction.

Hospitals Without Borders: Revolutionizing Global Delivery of Healthcare Facilities

LOCATION-ARROW Monet 2

Construction productivity has remained stagnant for decades while other industries have seen exponential growth. Today, we're standing at the cusp of a transformation, where artificial intelligence (AI) isn't just another tool – it's rewriting the rules of how we build. This session will explore several key topics, including:

• transformative solutions AI offers to bridge the productivity gap;

• how AI can be used in project planning, predictive analytics, risk management, and quality control to streamline operations and reduce costs;

• AI’s role in connecting stakeholders, from architects to subcontractors, enabling seamless communication through tools like digital twins and AI-driven project management platforms;

• case studies that demonstrate how AI has significantly impacted project timelines, budgets, and sustainability; and

• how AI will further evolve construction practices, from autonomous machinery to intelligent design optimization.

We Run DMC (Design, Manufacture, Construct): Achieving World-Class Design-Build for Modular Student Housing

Roger Krulak, President/Founder, FullStack Modular LOCATION-ARROW Raphael 1

California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) has embarked on one of the most ambitious and largest modular design-build student housing projects within the United States, marking the first large-scale use of modular construction within the California State University (CSU) system.

Join this case-based session to learn how the project team is working collaboratively on a risk-reward basis to deliver 4,200 new beds to the San Luis Obispo campus. Attendees will gain insights on how modular construction is:

• playing a critical role in addressing California’s housing crisis at large;
