The way we build is evolving. Building Forward with Clark Pacific explores the future of design, construction, and prefabrication through candid conversations with the architects, contractors, developers, and innovators moving the needle.
Hosted by industry experts from Clark Pacific, each episode cuts through the buzzwords to address real-world challenges, uncover practical solutions, and spotlight the ideas driving industrialized construction.
Whether you’re rethinking delivery methods, navigating project complexity, or pushing the limits of architectural design, Building Forward is your inside look at how today’s innovation becomes tomorrow’s standard.
Why Industrialized Construction Still Fails, Even When It Looks Great
Industrialized construction is not just "prefab with a new name" - it's a complete rethink of how projects are planned, measured, and delivered. Melissa McEwen and Nick Masci, co-founders of the Industrialized Construction Group, reveal why so many companies stall out after the big offsite-construction announcement and what it actually takes to turn factory thinking into real-world gains.
Backed by more than 70 maturity assessments, Melissa and Nick unpack the hidden gaps that separate companies talking about industrialized construction from the ones actually doing it.
If you're a contractor, prefab leader, owner, or builder trying to make industrialized construction stick, this episode is essential listening.

Beyond the Panel: Rethinking Prefabricated Facade Delivery.
In this episode, envelope consultant Adrian Lowenstein explores how prefabricated facade delivery is evolving beyond individual panels toward a more integrated, full-envelope approach. He shares how early collaboration, design integration, in-house glazing, target value design, and coordinated logistics can improve quality, strengthen cost and schedule certainty, and reduce gaps between project teams.
The conversation also examines material testing, supply chain challenges, regional adaptability, and the future of prefabricated facade systems designed to meet changing seismic, wind, and climate demands.

Building For the Future: The Art of Prefabrication for Architecture
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.
