Building Forward with Clark Pacific

In this episode, Scott Berry of SCB shares how early collaboration with manufacturers can unlock the full value of prefabricated facades.Through projects like 1640 Broadway and Oakland’s MacArthur Tower, Scott explains why engaging suppliers before or during schematic design can reduce risk, improve constructability, and protect design intent.We cover form optimization, material mockups, joint detailing, workflows, and the team mindset needed to turn ambitious facade concepts into efficient, buildable solutions.For architects, designers, and builders, this conversation offers practical lessons on using early industry integration to save time, avoid costly rework, and deliver better prefabricated building systems.

How can the construction industry evolve to meet the urgent demand for affordable housing? In this episode, Daniel Delisle sits down with Greg Otto, co-founder of TektonOS, to discuss why the future of building depends on a shift from projects to products.Greg shares his journey from structural engineering to the forefront of construction tech, highlighting the critical need for cohesive systems and standardization. They dive into the realities of managing high-capital factory environments and how local policies often impact the speed of innovation.
