Audience Discussion: Scaling Bio-Based Construction Through Workforce Development and Capacity Expansion Strategies
9:30 am
- Where are the biggest workforce and/or production bottlenecks today, and how can adjacent trades (steel, concrete, engineered systems) be mobilized to support the advancement of mass timber and bio-based productions and materials in construction?
- Are self-perform and vertically integrated delivery models the answer to labor shortages, schedule pressures, cost, and quality control challenges? What lessons are emerging from the market? • What training, education, and upskilling initiatives are proving most effective in building workforce capacity and accelerating adoption at scale?
- Are the most effective tools offered through higher education, trade organizations, or other means? Does it matter if the format is online/virtual or in-person?
