Industrialization holds the key to the fundamental shifts needed in construction, from buying one-off projects to buying sustainable productized buildings and from a disconnected design process to fully digital designs based on project data.
Those possibilities point to an exciting future for everyone, from general contractors (GCs) to the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades to serial owners looking to drive innovation through construction and supply chain partnerships. We all want a future in which we more efficiently harness our skills to seize the opportunities presented by a high — and growing — demand for infrastructure.
We’re all tired of talking about labor shortages, the productivity gap, low adoption of technology, and our inability to achieve data-driven production. So let’s talk about how we get to a better future. How do we start a transformation that encompasses every aspect of a business or project, especially if no one has yet fully figured out what “great” looks like?
That’s why Haley & Aldrich created the Industrialized Construction Maturity Assessment (ICMA), to help organizations and teams understand what world-class industrialized construction (IC) looks like; specifically, to see their “gap to great,” see their customized desired future state, and chart a path to get there.
