Advancements of Oversized Windows and Skylights
2021-03-17 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Speaker: Brian Johnson
The technology of the glass industry is evolving rapidly as natural disaster threats increase, terroristic concerns
continue to be significant, and the design community continues to push the limits of what is possible.
This course will cover the evolution of glass over the past 5 years, a new generation of specialty windows and
skylights which offer the ability to passively withstand impact, fire, and extreme conditions, as well as push the limits
of size as it pertains to oversized applications.
Upon completion of this course, the participants will have a thorough understanding of the new applications and
specifications for oversized, impact, fire rated and specialty window systems and skylights that can be applied today in
the rapidly evolving construction industry.

Building technology – how Modular Building is changing Single Family Residential Construction
2020-12-16 12:00 - 13:00
Construction costs are increasing, skilled labor is in decline, and the permitting process is becoming more stringent and time consuming. These factors require a paradigm shift in residential construction. New developments in modular, factory built homes are a viable solution to the problem. Join us for a discussion about how factory built homes can accommodate any level of customization while being permitted and built faster than their stick built counterparts. We’ll cover how you can tap into the state permitting process as well as how modular homes can apply to complete custom designs, ADU’s and even remodel/additions.
Presented by Bryan Henson of Bevyhouse
After leading an innovative, high-end construction company for over 12 years, Bryan Henson formed Bevyhouse as a solution to the increasing cost, time and client fatigue associated with custom home building. Bevyhouse’s mission is to provide high quality, beautiful homes that are faster and more cost effective than traditional building practices. Bevyhouse exists to partner with architects and designers to design, fabricate and install custom homes using a suite of pre-engineered components to deliver custom projects with factory precision and efficiency.
