Housing prices in California are at historic highs while housing production remains low. And yet, the construction industry has been slow to adopt new technologies that have improved productivity in other industries. Could these factors be related? Come hear how automation, communications technology, and other new innovations could revolutionize construction in the coming years, and stay for a lively discussion on how this could affect housing affordability, construction jobs, and the economy.
Guest speakers include Gerry McCaughey, CEO of Entekra LLC; Thomas Pogue, PhD Associate Director of University of the Pacific, Center for Business and Policy Research; Jeffrey Michael, PhD, Executive Director of University of the Pacific, Center for Business and Policy Research.
