Michael Dickens, partner and chief marketing officer at IBACOS, participated in a panel discussion at the International Builders' Show, addressing housing's necessary path in the digital revolution.
The panel, hosted and led by Metrostudy, included Gerard McCaughey, CEO and founder at Entekra; and Buddy Raney, owner at Raney Construction, in addition to Michael from IBACOS. The session addressed how participants are preparing for the digital revolution, as a shortage of trade labor and more complex housing systems are going to demand a different process.

In response to the question of "What industry trends will you be keeping an eye on in 2018," IBACOS responded with the following:
Off-site solutions. There will continue to be an increase in all types of off-site construction solutions – from builders, manufacturers, and other players – that will help to off-set the ongoing labor issue and drive efficiency in the industry.
The age of quality. With margins that will continue to remain tight, builders will need to find more operational efficiencies. Smart builders will see that investing in quality upfront keeps money in their pocket long-term.
Corporate influence. Outside players with enormous amounts of money and power will continue to impact the industry, affecting change in distribution channels and further defining what “connectivity” means to both the homeowner and the builder.

The U.S. Green Building Council recently posted the Home of InnovationTM case study to its website, recognizing its status as the first single-family home in the Middle East to earn Platinum certification under LEED for Homes.

OUR EVENTS
At the Big 5 Dubai, IBACOS, along with client SABIC, delivered a presentation titled, "Radical Innovation: Leapfrogging the residential new construction industry in the GCC to a sustainable future." In this presentation, speakers Dennis Steigerwalt (IBACOS) and Anas Ahmed Al-Mathami (SABIC) discussed the radical innovations within the residential construction industry that could be adopted in Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries to meet many of the housing, social and economic goals contained in Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
With such disruptive forces at play, we must learn to think—and act—differently. While we’re seeing sparks of innovation within different aspects of builders’ businesses, no one has all of the answers.
We believe that the best ideas are born out of cross-industry collaboration. Take a time-out from your day-to-day and join some of the brightest minds in the industry for the 2016 Alliance Innovation Summit.
WE'LL PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER TO:
- Share innovations we’re seeing today
- Discuss challenges facing our industry
- Create roadmaps and tools you can leverage within your business
- Network with great people from great companies
The format for the meeting itself will be a 60 / 40 split of presentations and collaborative, “off-the-wall” discussions. You’ll have the opportunity to engage and share ideas with every person in the room. Then relax and continue the exchange after hours during our networking events.
