We’re working with a team of industry rockstars on what we’re calling the “IC Road Map” – a living document that outlines a successful transition of a builder’s overall business —not just the construction silo—to fully integrate IC into its operations and reap all of the benefits.
You can check out our recent ProBuilder article to see where we’re at then visit the recap tab from the latest round table discussion where we chatted with leading industry experts and welcomed insights and questions from attendees. There you’ll find the full recording + best-of snapshots from the event.
Up next, we’ll hold another working group in early November to further refine the road map before publishing version 1.0 early next year. Reach out to Paige to get involved.
