Discover how modular construction is primed to reshape Portugal's housing landscape. Diogo Rutkowski from Bond Housing Systems explores the urgent challenges facing Portugal, including a shortage of construction workers and an overwhelming number of homes with poor energy efficiency. Diogo highlights how modular construction can create vibrant, inclusive communities, offering faster, more efficient building processes that promise to redefine the future of housing in Portugal.

Diogo also unpacks the advantages of wooden and steel modular structures that promise eco-friendliness, strength, and cost stability. He explains how these sustainable solutions can address the housing shortage with rapid delivery and environmental benefits.

Grant Geiger, CEO of EIR Healthcare, explores how modular construction is transforming healthcare building projects by addressing the industry's unique challenges of high costs, slow timelines, and technology integration.

What makes healthcare construction unique isn't the materials or processes—it's the motivation behind the projects. Unlike economically-driven commercial developments, healthcare facilities often expand based on community need rather than financial returns. And with more hospital systems shifting to a "hub and spoke" model with smaller satellite facilities, the opportunities for modular building has never been greater.

In this episode, Grant shares his thoughts on the potential for modular healthcare construction to produce buildings that not only deliver care for patients but deliver faster, more predictable timetables for stakeholders. By eliminating the "blank sheet of paper" approach that currently dominates healthcare construction, modular methods promise facilities that can be built faster, cheaper, and with better patient outcomes—a win for providers, patients, and healthcare systems as a whole.
