Schneider Development staff are heading out to Las Vegas for the International Builders Show.  The IBS is the largest annual building industry tradeshow in the country.  It’s THE place to see and discuss the newest products on the market and network with colleagues from across the country.  On top of that, IBS offers more than 175 lectures and presentations taught by industry experts.  

At last year’s show, Schneider Development came away with innovative ideas for business, marketing, as well as new products and materials.  One of the tools we’ve implemented is BuilderTrend.  This web-based communication tool allows our projects to run more smoothly since everyone, sub-contractors, staff, and clients, are kept on the same page throughout each construction phase.  It has been especially effective with our out of town clients who are able to see progress updates and photos. 

Many topics and products for this year’s show are focused on “Green Building.” James Canton, one of the key note speakers, has said that trends toward “green and clean” are already transforming not only the home building industry but many other industries.

IBS features a show home every year as a way to showcase products and design ideas. This year, Nationwide Homes has a line of ECO-cottages on display that exhibit high-performace, energy efficient, green techniques at reasonable, even affordable, prices. We’re excited to see these in person!

Stay tuned for the results of this year’s trip!
