Lane Office and DIRTT hosts Build Better Breakfast

New York, NY On Tuesday, August 9th, Lane Office and Doing It Right This Time (DIRTT), rallied the commercial construction industry’s top influencers together for the Build Better Breakfast at Arno Ristorante in the Garment District. Laura Jamer, director of global partnerships at DIRTT, spoke on behalf of this revolutionary new construction method, stating that “it effectively solves the problems that have been tolerated as unfortunate, but necessary in construction.”

During her presentation, Jamer explained DIRTT’s speed, cost certainty, clean construction and future flexibility. Despite having heard of DIRTT, many were unaware of its dramatic reductions in on-site labor overhead and scheduling. She went on to discuss that with conventional construction, 70% of costs are spent on labor and 30% on materials.

Utilizing “The DIRTT Approach” reverses this ratio. This means that, not only will installation save time and money, the space will be a high-quality, adaptable investment. Jamer said that DIRTT is not a niche brand; it is “Construction for the 21st Century.” Gregory Burke, CEO of Lane Office, assembled this highly curated audience, for their inherently innovative approach to meeting the needs of their clients. There is no way around the fact that labor shortages, increased regulations and stagnant productivity are becoming increasingly expensive issues within the construction industry. Burke declared, “the evolution of construction may soon rely on the revolution of DIRTT.”
