DfMA: From Concept to Reality

Advancing Manufacturing-Driven Building Delivery

📅 September 29-30, 2026
📍 NIBS Conference room, Washington DC.

Call For Presentations

 Open until COB August 14, 2026


OVERVIEW

Industrialized construction – including modular, prefabrication, and offsite manufacturing – is transforming how buildings are designed and delivered.

But success requires more than tools.

It requires early decisions, aligned delivery strategies, and fabrication-ready information.

DfMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) connects design, construction, and manufacturing enabling teams to deliver projects faster, safer, and with greater certainty.

BIMForum DfMA Symposium @ NIBS new conference center in Washington DC focuses on how to make DfMA work—consistently and at scale.

Why Attend

Join industry leaders across the full project lifecycle to explore:

  • When DfMA decisions must begin
  • How owners enable (or constrain) manufacturing-driven delivery
  • Translating design intent into fabrication-ready information
  • Offsite production and onsite integration workflows
  • Coordination, standards, and digital handoffs
  • Real-world case studies and measurable outcomes

💡 Expect practical insights, candid discussions, and actionable takeaways.
