Office furniture makers have made movable walls, in one form or another, since the early days of the industry. So it is surprising for many industry watchers to see the growing influence of them in recent months. Movable walls, it seems, is on the lips of many of the industry's largest players.

DIRTT Environmental Solutions and its ICE specification software allow for web-based renderings. It is extremely user friendly and it virtually connects the designer with the factory, eliminating the need for sketches and architectural drawings in the plant.

"I know what's driving our business is the software," said Mogens Smed of DIRTT. "If we had to go back to the shop drawing, it wouldn't work since so much is custom. This is not a business where you can develop a product and put a little bow around it and say it is finished. Custom is germane to all the projects we do. Every job that we do has custom to a greater or lesser degree."
