On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast™, digital media editor has two interviews from the recent Independent Contractors and Businesses Association of B.C. Innovation summit. The first interview is with Brad Burnett, the executive vice-president of ITC Construction Group and was on a panel titled “The Future of Construction is Pre-Construction.” He explained how he went from an estimator with the company to a one-man department and how over the ensuing years pre-construction has grown in importance and points the way forward for the industry. The second interview is with Amy Marks, the executive vice-president of technology firm Symetri USA and known on social media as the Queen of Prefab. Marks keynote was called “The Evolution of Industrialized Construction” and she pointed not only to the opportunities as construction becomes more modular, standardized and digitized but also the challenges on the way since large tech players such as Amazon and Google may involve themselves in both the data and supply side of the business. We also have headlines from the Daily Commercial News and the Journal of Commerce, including news about the Western Clean Energy Sorting and Recycling Facility, a new 42,000-square-foot facility in Kincardine, Ont. which was opened by Laurentis Energy Partners (LEP) in partnership with EnergySolutions Canada. John Bleasby's latest Legal Notes column says objective analysis determines contract repudiation and In U.S. news, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently announced its most frequently cited workplace safety standards for 2023 and fall protection — general requirements remains at the top of the list. From the west, Calgary's industrial real estate sector is gaining traction as a distribution hub. With distribution space asking rates considerably lower than those in Vancouver and Toronto, the past year has seen Calgary's industrial market maintain a robust health, notably in Q3 2023, and recent findings from the Fall 2023 Energy Sector Survey highlight a prevailing sense of optimism within the Canadian energy industry.

FMForward: Dedicated to the Rapidly Changing Landscape of Facility Management
Have you ever wondered why the fundamental ways in which we build have remained unchanged for over a century?Hear from subject matter expert Amy Marks on the evolution of construction, digital twins, sustainability, the mechanization, automation, and robotic revolution that is transforming our built environment. This change places FM’s at the table from the very start, and empowers them with smart data for the operation of their facilities. An episode you won’t want to miss.Amy Marks is the Head of Industrialized Construction Strategy and Evangelism at Autodesk.
Amy talks about the importance of productization in construction, why data is the new oil and why change is happening now. She also tells us why CEOs are listening up, why we need to re-use what we learn on construction projects, and, finally, why people should stop talking nonsense.
Amy Marks, Autodesk's Head of Industrialized Construction Strategy and Evangelism, talks about how clients have the power to shape the future of construction, what value means in the design process, why we don't need to have everything and how to let architects be… architects.
Amy Marks, Head of Industrialized Construction Strategy and Evangelism at Autodesk, aka The Queen of Prefab, joins us for episode 207 of Art of Construction and episode three of our Deep Dive Series on Industrialized Construction with Autodesk. Amy Marks is on a mission to bring the construction industry into the future. As we all continue to explore the adoption of different offsite construction systems and techniques in our projects, she is leading the charge at Autodesk to rally our industry around a unified vision of how we can work together to integrate these systems and build order out of chaos. Her vision is called the "Industrialized Construction Revolution." A big part of this revolution is the groundbreaking work done by specialty mechanical subcontractors who have been successfully prefabricating for decades. We had a lot of fun learning about the prefab systems pioneered by Rosendin and Environmental Air Systems in our two previous episodes, and it was an honor to wrap up this series with the #QueenofPrefab herself. Tune in on the third and final episode of this Deep Dive Series, as Amy and Devon examine the unexpected driving factors that are bringing the Industrialized Construction Revolution forward, breaking down industry silos and misconceptions about what's ahead, and how connection in technology and culture is far more important than any one product – all with undeniable passion, and a few laughs along the way!
Welcome back to the Construction DorkCast for Episode 19, Mixed Mechanical Arts with the Queen of Prefab, Amy Marks. Amy hangs out with us and lets her geek flag fly as we talk all things industrialized construction and what impact it is going to have on multiple areas of the construction industry. We do go heavy into a company focused discussion which we normally don't do, but it was in the context in the conversation and we learned how even the Autodesks of the world are learning there isn't going to be one ring to rule them all.
Peggy and Amy Marks, head of industrialized construction strategy and evangelism, Autodesk, talk about industrialized construction and prefab. Marks says while most of the prefab has been behind the walls and behind the ceiling, driven by the specialty contractor, industrialized construction is happening already. They also discuss: What is industrialized construction—and the terms surrounding it. The number of general contractors and specialty MEP subs that are already engaged in it. That it is no longer a journey—it is a race. If you are debating if you should be in the race, you have already lost. autodesk.com (10.20.20 - #691) IoT, Internet of Things, Peggy Smedley, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, digital transformation, cybersecurity, blockchain, 5G cloud, sustainability, future of work, podcast

In this episode, our managing editor, Tina Perinotto, spoke with Amy Marks from Autodesk, the “queen of prefab”, on why building and construction is not an industry but an ecosystem. If the world's buildings and cities are set to triple their footprint, as forecasters predict, sustainability will be a mighty challenge. Firstly, where are we sourcing our diminishing natural materials from? And can we still build and construct the way we've done traditionally?Amy Marks is head of Industrialised Construction Strategy and Evangelism at the global technology company Autodesk. She says so much needs to change.Her job is to transform building and construction so that it's way more efficient and sustainable. This would have multiple dividends for businesses and the planet, she says.Amy is one of those brilliant American outperformers that rightfully stand out on the global stage. She's educated at Harvard, she's a successful entrepreneur, a great thinker and a great speaker.Thankfully, for the building and construction industry, she's made her voice one to be reckoned with.She says building and construction is NOT an industry. It's an eco system and this means it can't be disrupted or reformed from the bottom up. It has to be disrupted from the top down. She means by influential clients such as large corporates or governments who can demand new outcomes through different methodologies.Amy is focused on the value and efficiency of digitalisation and prefabrication. These are the ways that we can start to be conserve and repurpose our dwindling natural resources. In construction, a wastage rate of 30 per cent is common. New technologies can go a long way to solving that problem. And they can also help the sector integrate new building materials that are more sustainable and efficient.Amy has construction in the blood. Her family owned a construction management company in New York and she grew up on construction sites. So it's no surprise she is such a fascinating person to talk to about this sector.This episode was produced with the support of our corporate sponsor, Autodesk.
