Demand Drives Homebuilders to Build Fast And Innovate
A powerful housing market is driving homebuilders to consolidate and invest in technology for prefabrication and supply chain integration. The boom has big companies, with their leverage and capital, growing. It leaves small builders in a niche, but, by tying up tracts, squeezes mid-size firms.
To stay ahead of the game, companies of all sizes are looking for ways to build faster, better and cheaper. Most are refining tools and methods that have been around for years, but they are integrating them with a new intensity that verges on automation.
