70/30: Flipping the Construction Cost Equation with Benjamin Urban

In this episode of SPACES, Benjamin Urban, CEO of DIRTT highlights everything you need to know about industrialized construction.

DIRTT, a global leader in industrialized construction for interior spaces, was recently named #1 in Manufacturing on Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies, 2025.

Before steering this prefab pioneer, Benjamin grew AGILE INTERIORS—one of DIRTT’s biggest partners—diversifying markets for global clients. His résumé spans Johnson & Johnson international business, IHS market intelligence, and casino development abroad for the Gillmann Group. Armed with a business degree from the University of Denver and international credentials from Tec de Monterrey, he now champions industrialized construction that’s fast, flexible, sustainable.

If you design hospitals, retrofit offices, or just love rethinking “how it’s always been done,” you don’t want to miss this conversation. We cover software, scheduling, costs, sustainability, and more!
