space and in some cases , I ’ ve seen our products and solutions extend into their fourth generation of use or location . For example , one of our partners in London will shortly be relocating its DIRTT solution to

Boston for use in a project that ’ s over a decade old . Additionally , solutions can also be repurposed in alternative applications rather than ending up in landfill , which for me , is one of the most exciting and encouraging aspects of our work . Likewise , our development team also innovates solutions that are compatible with products created 20 years ago . The challenge isn ’ t necessarily to create something new , but rather to create something new that speaks the same language as something that ’ s 20 years old , which allows customers to adopt new technologies , new innovations , and new solutions into their current deployed DIRTT solutions , knowing that for perpetuity , they will always be interchangeable .” “ To facilitate our manufacturing efficiencies and short lead times , we ensure robust relationships with our raw materials suppliers . Our supply chain strategy sees us working with multiple suppliers in addition to our core network . In recent years , and particularly during the pandemic , it was interesting to see the difference between those manufacturing from raw materials and those assembling . Because of how we ’ ve designed and manufactured over time , we have visibility over our material sourcing availability and overall pipeline . When most of the world was experiencing acceleration fees and shortages , we still had raw materials in stock and the ability to continue manufacturing , which reduced our risk ,” he shares .
Alongside its construction partners and supplier relationships , the company places a strong emphasis on its people . “ DIRTT is a wonderful company to work for ,” Benjamin enthuses . “ From our line operators through to our field technicians , our workforce is fiercely passionate . Many employees have been with the company since its inception , but over the last five-toten years , we ’ ve also had several new faces join the old guard and they ’ ve contributed a fresh perspective . Between the two is a shared passion for what we do . When customers visit our facilities , many are struck by the tangible passion that permeates the culture and extends beyond our walls to our construction partners .
“ I ’ ve been CEO of DIRTT for nearly two years and can happily say that for 2024 , DIRTT is poised for significant growth . 2023 was transformational for us with some of our largest volumes in five years being delivered 99 percent on time and in full , with a third of the deficiencies that we would have seen at that same point just two years ago . We ’ ve proven that , from a capacity perspective , we can essentially double our size without any concerns for quality , efficiency or lead time challenges .
