Every year, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) hosts the International Builders’ Show® and, yet again, your Austin custom home builder will be attending. With more than 50,000 attendees, 900 industry suppliers and more than 165 education sessions, this is by far the home building industry’s largest event of the year. You’d think the show would give us a chance to get away from the stress of the office and soak in the warm Orlando sun. Yeah, right!
At Sterling Custom Homes, we set up an intricate schedule for each team member to follow so we can get the absolute most out of the show. During every time slot of education sessions, each team member is assigned a specific session and a back up session. When a team member is not in a session, they are on the showroom floor checking out new industry specific products, innovations, and business solutions. Not all home builders go to the show, but to remain cutting edge in a constantly evolving custom home industry, we believe it is imperative to remain as current as possible with industry trends and standards. The International Builders’ Show® presents us with the absolute best opportunity to do so.
We don’t go to the show solely for our benefit, but even more for the benefit of our clients. The knowledge gained through the education sessions helps us optimize our construction processes, which improves our clients’ experience with us. The new products we are exposed to on the showroom floor increases the efficiency of the homes we build, positively affecting client satisfaction with us, but more importantly, their home.
We are very excited to go to the International Builders’ Show®! This year, thanks to the wonders of social media, we are going to provide you with nuggets of information we receive at the show in real time. In order to accomplish this, stay tuned to our Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest pages for updates. We will also publish a daily blog post to wrap up each day of the show, so stay tuned!
