Smarter Building Podcast Ep. 1 - The Evolution of Offsite Construction

KOPE.ai is the first purpose-built software platform for offsite construction, designed to bridge the gap between design, manufacturing and construction. This platform serves as a game-changer, enabling a shift away from traditional construction methods and unlocking new possibilities for efficiency, productivity, and quality in the construction process.

He discusses the role of technology in enabling offsite construction companies to overcome challenges and drive growth, and how the industry will evolve in coming years. With an impressive track record and a deep understanding of the industry's potential, Mark's expertise sets the stage for a thought-provoking conversation.

"I think we will get to a point in time where traditional construction as we know it now is a thing of the past, and offsite construction just becomes construction... traditional construction."
