The modular construction industry is on the verge of a significant breakthrough. As demand for faster, more cost-effective, and higher-quality building solutions grows, the need for seamless integration between modular components and traditional construction has never been more pressing.
At Advancing Prefabrication 2025, Jason Van Nest, Executive Director of the Center for Offsite Construction and founder of Logic Building Systems, will be joining Ryan Colker, Director of Innovation at the International Code Council (ICC), to present a vision for the future: a marketplace prepared for faster modular adoption — where prefabricated building components are as standardized and interoperable as electrical outlets.
For too long, modular construction has been held back by “engineer to order” workflows — inconsistent connections, misaligned workflows, and project-specific workarounds. This late-February presentation will shed light on many ICC initiatives to organize US offsite construction, and how an opt-in, open-source common modular interface can solve these challenges—bringing modular closer to the plug-and-play convenience the industry has been striving for.
This isn’t just a technical discussion—it’s about the future of the industry. With the right standard in place, multifamily housing, hospitality projects, and commercial buildings will be designed for modular efficiency from the start, slashing construction timelines and costs while improving quality.
For those attending Advancing Prefab in Phoenix this February 17-20, Jason’s session is a must-see. Modular construction is ready to take its next leap forward. The question is: Will your projects be ready?
