In a world where the rapid pace of urbanization demands innovation and sustainability, modern construction finds itself at a crossroads. With the emergence of lean design principles, forward-thinking companies like Impresa Modular are paving the way for a future where efficiency and empowerment are not just ideals, but concrete realities.
The Efficiency of Lean Design
Impresa Modular epitomizes the application of lean principles in design, with a focus on streamlining each element of the construction process for heightened efficiency—a philosophy shared by the insights of Daniel Small. This isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about constructing smart, sustainable homes efficiently and effectively.
Through Impresa Modular’s dedication to collaboration, stakeholders, including architects, engineers, and clients, actively contribute to the design process. This communal approach allows for the creation of homes that not only fulfill client expectations but also push the envelope in design excellence, marrying lean principles with unparalleled quality.
Impresa’s CEO, Ken Semler, is a strong voice for modular in the industry, but like the principles of lean itself, an inherently pragmatic one, “When supply is low and demand is high, we see prices increase. Until we fundamentally change the way home construction is done, we are stuck…” Ken’s sentiment is very important, and it is why we established the Village. We must come together to solve this intractable problem, share resources, and innovate to accelerate the number of housing units entering the market. Without this approach, prices can only remain high. Read Ken’s full piece here.
The Village Marketplace offers a collaborative platform that serves as a place for consumer choice and sustainability, paralleling Impresa Modular’s principle of customization.
