Coming to a House Near You: Innovative Products from the 2026 International Builders Show
We walked 50,000+ steps among all the vendors at the largest light construction (residential) show in the world so we can share the most innovative products and interesting trends!
This presentation covers a tremendously broad collection of products such as in-home sports equipment, lighting, bath fixtures, fireplaces, modular construction, attic access devices, 3D printing of houses, acoustic treatments, fire protection, access control and more. We’ll offer our thoughts on how these elements could be included in homes and our concerns about performance.
As always, we’ll make our presentation in simple terms you can use when speaking with real estate professionals and we invite your questions + comments as we go!
