Advancing Preconstruction Interview with Paul Kirchhoff
We’re pleased to share this exclusive interview from the team at the Advancing Preconstruction 2023 conference and Epsilon Industries’ Chief Revenue Officer, Paul Kirchhoff. Watch the video for Paul’s insights on expectation meetings, supply chain volatility, design assist, and the possibility of a recession, all ahead of his upcoming presentation at this year’s Advancing Preconstruction
Advancing Prefabrication 2023 Takeaways: Moving from Projects to Products
The Epsilon team was pleased to attend the latest Advancing Prefabrication conference this spring in Phoenix, Arizona. For 2023, the consistent theme we heard was Moving from Projects to Products. We heard it in the keynote address, and then echoes of that thought throughout various sessions over the three-day event. As an Off-Site Construction (OSC) manufacturer, this
What’s Really Cutting Edge in Construction?
If you’ve attended a construction conference or trade show recently you’ve likely heard presentations about Virtual Design & Construction (VDC). From enhanced design software and virtual walkthroughs to augmented-reality goggles that visualize finished structures in place, technology is optimizing processes at all stages of construction. VDC is not limited to work in the field. At
What Does OSC Have to do With Ramping Up North American Manufacturing?
A recurring theme in the industrial construction space – not to mention recent headline news – is the demand for increased manufacturing capacity in North America. Often referred to as “on-shoring” or “near-shoring”, companies are looking to shift production of critical components like batteries, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals from overseas to the US, Canada and Mexico.
Three Ways Off-Site Construction Helps Achieve Lean Construction Goals
At a high level, the goal of Lean Construction is to minimize waste, time and effort in order to maximize value to the customer. There are many processes and strategies that can be implemented to help achieve this goal, impacting every facet of the built environment and building process. So many tools, in fact, that
Epsilon’s Team to Speak at AGCMO Design & Technology Construction Conference
Epsilon’s Paul Kirchhoff and John O’Herron will share their expertise at the 10th Annual AGCMO Design & Technology Construction Conference on October 20th in St. Louis, MO. Their session, titled, “Glorious Success vs. Epic Failure: A Case Study in Offsite Construction” will address the effects of modular prefabrication on various project aspects, including timing, labor
Three Takeaways from the 2022 Advancing Preconstruction Conference
Epsilon’s own Starsky and Hutch (Paul Kirchhoff and Jeffrey Johnson) hit the road again last week – this time to Las Vegas, where they spoke at Hanson Wade’s 2022 Advancing Preconstruction conference. This is an Epsilon favorite because it’s an amazing gathering of construction professionals focused on tackling risk in the preconstruction phase. Here are
Three Takeaways from the 2022 Advancing Prefabrication Conference
The Epsilon Team enjoyed several days at the recent 2022 Advancing Prefabrication Conference, including having our own Paul Kirchhoff as one of the speakers/presenters. After attending multiple sessions, speaking with attendees and listening to discussions throughout the event, here are three takeaways we brought home to share with the larger team: “We need to bring
Optimizing Mechanical System Layout and Design
One of the lesser-known benefits of working with an experienced Off-Site Construction (OSC) manufacturer is the incredible efficiencies in system layout and design. By their very nature, modular systems utilize a more efficient design approach. Not to be confused with “compressing” or “compacting,” OSC designers optimize for the most efficient utilization of available space. This
