Mogens Smed_ Interior DCC Redefining Sustainability with Next-Gen Echo Tech Platform at Falkbuilt

1. Mogens Smed: Interior DCC Redefining Sustainability with Next-Gen Echo Tech Platform at Falkbuilt Did you know that manufacturing and construction businesses affect the environment? Like, in a terrible way? Yes, you heard that right. I looked into it and uncovered some interesting information. Construction companies work with different kinds of materials wherein half of the utilized products go to complete waste, ending up in bins and then landfills. This leads to air and land pollution. The equipment that is used in construction makes a lot of noise leading to noise pollution and disruptions for its neighbors. The smell that is in the air while using equipment and materials and the dust that is left behind after construction, can be quite hazardous and harmful to both the workers as well as to the environment and surroundings. Specifically, with a world that is running very short on our finite non-renewable resources, the quantity of water being used by these industries is in tons, and just imagine how much is being wasted! Increasing pollution in the land, air, and water is affecting the Earth and its inhabitants. We as a people and the present generation, together, have started taking the necessary steps to reduce and move towards a zero-emission future for the sake of our dear planet. Quickly, innovatively, creatively, and sustainably! With the advancements in technological tools and resources that are at our fingertips, many companies are leveraging tech and integrating several innovative ideas and tools into the core of their products and services. This is a great strategy for digital construction innovation, no doubt! In the Manufacturing and Construction Industry, the conventional types of constructing, building, designing, manufacturing, and delivering are taken up a notch in the industry and market. So to speak, how fascinating is the idea of integrating a new generation of technology with the interior construction of buildings and spaces? Real cool right!? It’s indeed an efficient strategy that works well in resolving the rising challenges and global concerns in the industry. So, come join us as we share deep insights into a sustainable interior design revolution with a Canadian company - Falkbuilt, co-founded by Mogens Smed, which has digitized interior construction for prefab, with a new process called DCC (Digital Component Construction) that is powered by the next-gen tech - Echo which is an agnostic, cloud- computing machine learning platform that uses Revit Model (Revise-Instantly). Entrepreneur, Pioneer, Risk-Taker, and Deal-Breaker - The Face of Falkbuilt - Mogens Smed:

2. The co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Falkbuilt Ltd. is Mogens Smed. Mogens co- founded an interior Digital Component Construction -DCC (a process of integrating traditional construction methods with new technology) which is powered by an innovative technology called Echo - an agnostic, cloud-based, machine-learning platform for prefab from design through manufacturing to delivery and installation. This process and tech reduces and overcomes environmental and economic concerns in build, design, materials, freight, quality, time, and costs. The use of the Revit Model (Revise-Instantly), and Ensacpe and Inventor models, allows stakeholders to meet digitally and create, edit, and review a 3D model of the structure/space/building. Residing in Calgary, Canada - Mogens Smed was the Chief Executive Officer at his father’s cabinetmaking company - SMED International, wherein for 15 years he shifted from furniture to modular interior construction, manufacturing, and full-height movable walls, access flooring, and modular furniture. He later again became a CEO at Evans Consoles. In 2004, Mogens then co-founded and became CEO of DIRTT Environmental Solutions (DIRTT - Doing It Right This Time), where he pioneered digital modular sustainable solutions in construction alongside Barrie Loberg - the Vice President of Software Development. Thereafter in the year 2019, Mogens and Barrie co-founded Falkbuilt Ltd. - a prefab construction and manufacturer of digital components, and Echo - a construction tech cloud-computing platform to streamline the construction process efficiently and effectively. The company was established and its headquarters is located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Mogens’ accolades and accomplishments include - being named by Interiors and Sources Magazine as the Environmental Champion in 2004, the American Society of Interior Designers award for his efforts in mitigating construction wastes and making interiors sustainable and durable, and Ernst & Young awarded the EY Prairies’ Entrepreneur of Year - Clean-Tech in 2013. About Falkbuilt: Falkbuilt was co-founded by Mogens Smed and Barrie Loberg, in 2019, and is headquartered in Calgary, Alerta, Canada. The company is built on combining proven interior construction methods with next-generation interior construction tech - Echo, a cloud-computing software and platform, to build high-performing, sustainable, and cost-effective environments. A digitized interior construction business, Falkbuilt adopts a construction method process of DCC - Digital Component Construction, where traditional construction methods are integrated and powered with innovative technology like Echo to create cost and time- effective structures/buildings/spaces that are high-performing, meet industry standards, and are environmentally friendly.

3. “Total clarity and predictability in design and cost with effective and timely scheduling of processes, the design, manufacturing, and delivery are enhanced to provide premium quality products that eliminate silos with Echo.” - Falkbuilt Ltd. With sustainability initiatives and circular interior economy practices adopted at its core, Falkbuilt moves with a smaller carbon footprint, reduced factory waste, fewer materials, reduced freight, saving 2 tonnes of CO2 emission through the DCC process, fewer trades, less on-site waste productions, in-house manufacturing and innovation process, smarter design, durable finishing and delivery, designed for disassembly, saving costs and time, and the increased use of sustainable and recyclable materials. Like everyone else in this generation, Falkbuilt aims and envisions a future where interior construction is better for the Earth as well as its inhabitants and hence promises to “provide the most responsive service the construction industry has ever seen”.
