Advancing Prefab: An Interview with Amy Marks
Amy Marks is a thought leader in the construction industry, VP of Industrialized Construction Strategy and Evangelism at Autodesk, and an experienced prefabrication consultant.

Struggling to Scale? Invest in Prefab
Fabrication is a simple way to describe the planning, designing, fabrication, and assembly of building elements at a location other than the final place those elements are installed. Prefab helps reduce the waste of construction materials that are used during building projects. It also cuts down on onsite manpower. Additionally, prefab allows warehouses to stay active during extreme weather conditions and unexpected shutdowns. This allows for more consistency and time efficiency in the project process.

Tips to Improve Safety On Site
Safety shouldn’t be something that management talks about, but doesn’t enforce. Jobsite safety should take precedence over every other aspect of your company, and if it is not a priority in your company, it needs to be. Making safety the most important thing not only helps to reduce costs, but it can also improve productivity on site. Because accidents lead to additional costs as well as delays in projects, when you make safety a priority, you lessen the chances of accidents occurring on site, and you save money in the process.
360 Sync Error Blog: Index was out of range
Usually, what happens when you see an “Index was out of range” error, it’s because (1) your root folder was deleted or changed names, (2) there is already a folder or a file name in the destination location & there can’t be 2 files or folders with the same name, (3) the file or folder name contains a restricted character (like < > ^ \ / ), or in some rare cases, (4) a folder was inadvertently uploaded as a file.
How To Build A Best In-Class Fab Shop
There are many advantages to improving your fab shop, one being efficiency. A fab shop should be a structured outlet designed to efficiently organize material and easily send it out to contractors on the field. Having a best in-class fab shop will create a more efficient system that helps your company. Another benefit of having a best in-class fab shop is safety. Because the fab shop is operating in an organized and efficient manner, it won’t be necessary to have as many people working in the shop. And as a result, Bauman explained that, “the less people you have on a jobsite, the safer it is.” To go along with this, improving your fab shop leads to more organization, which allows you to complete the same amount of work with less people and save money in the process.
