What You'll Learn:

What You’ll Learn:

  • Hear how San Francisco’s top builders are navigating record-high construction costs, the highest in the world, while keeping projects viable through new delivery and financing strategies.
  • Explore how permitting timelines, local labor mandates, and regulatory headwinds unique to San Francisco are reshaping project feasibility and construction schedules.
  • Learn how leading teams are managing supply chain volatility, workforce shortages, and fluctuating materials pricing to deliver projects on time and on budget.
  • Discover how collaborative approaches between design, development, and construction teams are improving efficiency, communication, and cost forecasting across major projects.
  • Gain insight into which neighborhoods, from SoMa to Mission Bay and the Peninsula, are seeing new construction momentum and what’s driving activity in each submarket.
  • Examine how new technologies, preconstruction tools, and data-driven project management practices are redefining efficiency, quality, and performance in today’s construction environment.
