11: System Builds - Silicon Valley Meets Construction
Listen now
Description
Mike Rock, President of Construction at Katerra, joins us on SBL to share how his company is revolutionizing the construction world. Katerra is using the Henry Ford model of assembly lines to systemize how construction products are made. By applying this principle to manufacturing, technology, and materials, Katerra creates large, factory built pieces that can be assembled like legos, rather than each component being assembled by hand on-site. This methodology is improving quality, shortening building time and saving money!
