2014 International Builders Show

Randy, Robert and Jason Thelen attended the  National Association of Home Builders  International Builder’s Show (IBS)  last week in Las Vegas, the largest annual home construction show in the world.  Randy and Robert have been attendees at the IBS nearly every year of our company’s 40 years in business and Jason has been an enthusiastic attendee for the last two years. Why? In addition to must-see products and exhibits, the IBS also offers the most up-to-date and innovative education programs available.  More than 100 sessions are taught by building industry experts from accross the country. It’s how we stay on top of  product and high performance construction trends, bringing  more value to our client’s home building experience. It’s where we see, learn, and experience everything that’s related to new home construction.

This year, the National Kitchen and Bath Show (KBIS) was also at the Las Vegas Convention Center, creating an extraordinary Design and Construction Week. Between IBS and KBIS,  over 1,100 of the industry’s most well-know manufacturers and suppliers were represented.

A  highlight of the IBS was the New American Home – the official show home of IBS.  A one-of-a-kind, 6,700 square foot home in Henderson NV. It integrates design elements that have relevance to how families live and function in homes today.  The New American Home is kind of  a ‘real world’ laboratory demonstrating design creativity, energy efficiency and construction techniques that can be replicated in whole or in part in homes built in any place and in any price range. View this “wow” house on the video link of the New American Home.

Love the imaginative, modern style of the New American Home? Or does “home” mean a traditionally styled bungalow to you? No matter what’s your architectural style – why not incorporate the best in new technology, green products  and design elements making your house a forward thinking,  functional home? We’d be happy to show you how.
