This report contains key findings from the Construction Revolution Summit and five steps to make offsite construction a reality in Minnesota
Join the Revolution: Innovation Cohorts
The Construction Revolution will facilitate Multi-Sector Innovation Cohorts to enable companies, organizations, and jurisdictions to conduct collaborative R&D and learn what it takes to deploy offsite approaches
The Construction Revolution was recently named a Top 25 Finalist in the Ivory Prize for Housing Affordability competition for its plans to facilitate these cohorts.
Each Cohort will be comprised of a series of Project Teams, which will include at minimum one developer, architect, general contractor, and manufacturer, and a Core Team of experts and officials to which the Project Teams will have access. Over an 18-month period, cohorts will meet regularly for half-day sessions during which Project Teams can engage each other and the Core Team in collaborative problem-solving. They will also take trips to see in-state or out-of-state offsite developments.
The structure and timing of the cohorts is still in development, but please email us at info@constructionrevolution.io if you are interested in participating.

The Construction Revolution Summit was held on September 16th, 2019 at the Delta Hotel by Marriott NE in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A first-of-its-kind event, the Summit brought together more than 150 leaders from all sectors of the construction industry and all parts of the state. At the Summit, participants explored both the benefits of, and obstacles to, offsite construction, led by local and national experts.
“The Summit shows that there is a backbone of support in Minnesota for modular building.”
