What is the Industrialized Construction Forum?

Founded in 2014, the mission of the Industrialized Construction (IC) Forum is to be the premier hub for industry knowledge exchange among the growing community of IC experimenters, innovators, and startups in the San Francisco Bay Area and across the globe.

The term Industrialized Construction is intentionally broad to include emerging business models for off-site and prefab while looking forward to the application of future technologies such as 3D printing and robotics.
