Each year, construction sends millions of tonnes of waste to landfill. When rebuilding communities after disasters like the recent California wildfires, the challenge is not just to rebuild — it is to do it better.
At Greenbuild International Conference and Expo 2025 (Los Angeles Convention Centre, 4–7 November), Howick CEO Nick Coubray joins Brandon Ionata of Graitec Strucsoft to show how digital design and modern steel framing can help create stronger, smarter, more sustainable buildings.

Session 1: Resilient Steel Solutions for the California Rebuild and Beyond
Wed, Nov 5 | 1:00 pm PST
Nick (Howick) and Brandon (Graitec Strucsoft) will show how cold formed steel delivers strength, resilience, and design freedom across commercial, multi-family, and residential builds. See how digital design and precision fabrication are helping create smarter, sustainable, disaster-resistant communities.
Session 2: Steel & Mechanical Systems in Action: High-Performance Solutions for Retrofit and Rebuild Projects
Thu, Nov 6 | 1:15 pm PST
Nick and Brandon will show how structural and mechanical systems can work together for high performance construction. Discover Howick’s framing solutions, including telescopic framing, for rebuilds and retrofits, designed to cut waste, enable resilient, accurate and waste reducing construction. Gain practical insight on how factory-controlled construction and onsite collaboration optimise efficiency, performance, and sustainability.
“Building systems and building science perfectly align to solve for decarbonization and more. The DCL Hub is a place to explore how efficient offsite methods reduce waste, improve spaces, and enhance efficiency.”
— Jennifer Cooper, Co-Founder, Dave Cooper LIVE
