Season 2 Episode 2 - Innovation in On-Site, Off-Site, and Digital Construction

On this episode of Blueprint for Growth: Innovation in Housing, host Amy Vilis sits down with two leaders turning housing innovation from buzzword to real-world impact.

Beau Jarvis, President & CEO of Wesgroup Properties, breaks down how traditional construction is evolving through digital bolt-ons like robotics, 3D modeling, and automated fabrication. Kathy Hogeveen, COO of Assembly Corp, reveals how integrating design, manufacturing, and supply chains can unlock speed, precision, and affordability at scale. Together, they make a powerful case for Canada’s future: innovation isn’t old vs. new—it’s alignment. When government, industry, and communities collaborate around shared digital standards and smarter policy, we can finally build the housing Canadians need.
