// CLIPS FROM Falkbuilt Ltd.
“the biggest challenge in my 20 plus years is this is the way we've always done things”
“conventional drywall walls are one of the few things in an interior build-out built from scratch on-site”
“lack of available trades we're losing more trades than are coming into the industry”
“the design idea came from racking industrial racking”
“if you're a gc you're thinking i need less subs on site”
“by the time they get the tender package it's almost too late to insert these solutions”
“construction generates 30 to 40 percent of our landfill waste because we perpetually build demolish”
“it's not easy to quit what you've done for the last 15 years and start something new in the middle of a pandemic”
“the biggest competition is conventional”
// LESSONS FROM Falkbuilt Ltd.
Cross-disciplinary industry associations generate more government leverage than siloed trade groups by speaking with one unified voice.
Pandemic downtime is a strategic window for associations and firms to finish long-deferred planning work that gets crowded out in busy periods.
Opening a closed membership model to the broader industry is a growth multiplier for industry associations that had relied on a rotating board.
Off-site prefabrication of interior partitions compresses schedules and reduces on-site labour demand — a compounding advantage as trades shortages worsen.
Pre-wiring electrical into prefab wall panels eliminates a whole sub-trade mobilisation and accelerates the MEP rough-in sequence.
Canadian-made supply chains with contractually locked pricing are a genuine differentiator in a market experiencing material price volatility.
