Steve Glenn, CEO of Plant Prefab, shares how his company is infiltrating single and multifamily housing markets with custom designed prefabricated homes to deliver healthy and sustainable buildings by design and at scale.

In this interview, Glenn also discusses the ways his company are using new technologies and solutions like AI to allow for even greater personalization for clients and designers. Lastly, Glenn elaborates how infiltrating the urban multi-family market with prefabricated construction might be a game changer for the housing market.
