One of the world’s foremost authorities on off-site construction, Gerard “Gerry” McCaughey has guided home builders on three continents in transitioning from inefficient stick-framing to off-site construction – enabling them to reduce cycle time and boost productivity while delivering higher-quality, more sustainable structures.
Off-site construction is in Gerard McCaughey’s DNA. The son of one of Ireland’s off-site pioneers, he joined forces with his father and brother in 1990 to found Century Homes, a four-person start-up that they would build into Europe’s largest off-site company. Today, as Chairman and founder of California-based Entekra, McCaughey is leveraging his unparalleled experience and expertise using modern methods of construction to disrupt the homebuilding industry in the United States as he did in Europe.
