Course outline

40 min.

Explain the innovations by MEP subcontractors and how they are influencing the Industrialized Construction paradigm

Learn about the super-subcontractor’s pathway towards the integration of industrialized construction. Also learn about the procurement and production of prefabricated MEP assemblies to reduce production time, make worksites safer and create less impact to the environment.
