On March 10, 2023 ICLR conducted a Friday Forum webinar titled 'The Expansion of Off-Site Construction and the Quest for Resilience', led by Ryan M. Colker, Vice President, Innovation at the International Code Council.

Interest in off-site construction is increasing as the building industry and society looks to address multiple challenges from the availability of a construction workforce to the affordability and availability of housing. At the same time, communities are facing increased exposure to hazards. This session explored how off-site construction can support achievement of multiple priorities including enhancing resilience and the benefits associated with factory-based construction and inspection processes.
