When one decides to address the quantum of issues facing the construction industry, it’s

important to see the problem from many perspectives. Greg Otto’s career has primed him to do

just that. Educated as both architect and engineer, he has been focused on collaborative work

across the spectrum of technical disciplines key to construction, opening up the potential for

innovation. Greg has had the opportunity to work with several prominent industry innovators

where he has successfully led teams in all areas of the construction value chain.

our housing product line. With a deep understanding of the many voices of the customer, Greg

is keen to unlock untapped value within the construction ecosystem and deliver truly

transformational (price, quality and performance) housing.

Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering. Having experienced first-hand the value of education, he

Amy Sims is a pioneer in housing design and construction, ushering in new standards of

building efficiency and sustainability through her innovative work at the intersection of

architecture and manufacturing.

Sims entered the field of homebuilding as a carpenter at Vermont’s Yestermorrow Design/

Build School, where she learned basic trades and energy-efficient building techniques

that would inform the course of her career. Designing office interiors and a variety of

commercial and residential projects at AECOM, Ellerbe Becket, and Richard Meier &

Partners, Sims contributed to landmark projects like Ernst & Young’s Workplace of the

Future and the Rand Corporation’s corporate headquarters, which integrated occupant

health and architectural design decades before the concept entered the mainstream.

In 2006 Sims co-founded the award-winning design studio LivingHomes, working with

Ray Kappe, AIA, to help design the first home ever to achieve Platinum certification in the

U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED for Homes program. It was the first of many LEED-

certified homes Sims would design and deliver utilizing offsite construction.

In 2016 Sims helped launch housing prefabrication startup Plant Prefab and applied her

technical design skills with her hands-on experiences in both site-based building and

factory fabrication to help develop the company’s innovative Plant Building SystemTM.

Utilizing advanced engineering to drive efficiency and quality, the hybrid system is the first

and only of its kind to combine panelized and modular building systems to fabricate any

housing typology in any style of architecture 20-50% faster than site-based building with

industry-leading quality and minimal waste.

Sims established Plant Prefab’s design review services and developed detailed design

guidelines to assist architects making the transition to offsite fabrication. Today, she

focuses on education and outreach to the design, development, and construction

community, helping project teams save time and deliver stakeholder value through offsite

fabrication.

Sims donates her time and talents as design partner for the UCLA Solar Decathlon team,

a mentor for the National Organization of Minority Students (NOMA), and a conservation

volunteer for the National Audobon Society. As a leading resource in sustainable and

fire-defensive home design and construction, she also instructs architects, builders, and

home owners in fire-defensive design, construction, and retrofits as a volunteer for the

Los Angeles Chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC-LA).
