In this episode of Stirring the Pot, we talk with Pamela Bell. Founder and Former CEO of PrefabNZ whom we crossed paths with due to her involvement on the NZ Construction Industry Council.
Pamela has been on a mission to innovate in New Zealand’s built environment and create a hub for prebuilt design and construction. We were keen to chat to her about this, as prefabrication has come up as one of the top interests our members are keen to explore in our recent innovation survey.
This is a not to be missed episode if you're curious to know if prefabrication could answer Auckland's housing crisis, or if there is sufficient volume of construction for your business to invest in prefabrication.
Join us as we discuss the benefits of prefabrication, challenges to overcome, relevance of this trend to our metals industry, opportunities for our future pipeline, traceability and conformity to seismic standards, and more.
