Zak Kostura discusses supply chain resilience and prefabrication at BuiltWorlds.

At the BuiltWorlds Buildings Conference: Data Centers & AI Infrastructure in Nashville, Chief Growth Officer Zak Kostura spoke on “Supply Chain Resilience: From Lead Times to Prefabrication” on October 1.

The panel covered how builders hold schedules under “just-in-case” procurement: vertical integration, off-site prefabricated and modular units that work around local labor shortages, and managing the risk of Tier 2 and Tier 3 supplier failures. Zak spoke with Jon Benson, Director of Modular Innovation at TAS Energy, and Brian Gallagher, VP of Corporate Strategy and Development at PPC Partners. Robert Frost of NexGen Contracting and Gray Construction moderated.
