Industrialized construction – including modular, prefabrication, and offsite manufacturing – is transforming how buildings are designed and delivered.
But success requires more than tools.
It requires early decisions, aligned delivery strategies, and fabrication-ready information.
DfMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) connects design, construction, and manufacturing enabling teams to deliver projects faster, safer, and with greater certainty.
BIMForum DfMA Symposium @ NIBS new conference center in Washington DC focuses on how to make DfMA work—consistently and at scale.
Why Attend
Join industry leaders across the full project lifecycle to explore:
- When DfMA decisions must begin
- How owners enable (or constrain) manufacturing-driven delivery
- Translating design intent into fabrication-ready information
- Offsite production and onsite integration workflows
- Coordination, standards, and digital handoffs
- Real-world case studies and measurable outcomes
Expect practical insights, candid discussions, and actionable takeaways.
