In traditional construction, projects are done in a fairly linear process, where certain activities must be completed first for the next step to become possible. Owners progress through a design-bid-build process where designs are finalized, general contractor/subcontractors are then selected and building begins at the job site. However, Offsite construction is usually characterized by a collaborative design-build process where all parties including the owner, design firm, general contractor and subcontractor factory must communicate from the very beginning. 

In this post we chat with Offsite design experts Anthony Gude, Director of Operations at R&S Tavares Associates and Paul Pellicani, CEO at architects LOFT on the importance of collaboration early on between their teams and other stakeholders and how it leads to a successful Offsite project.
