Our team was happy to be back in-person at Design & Construction Week 2022 in Orlando, Florida for the International Builders Show (IBS) and Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS), the largest annual gathering of the residential construction and design industry. The energy was high as we connected with builders, remodelers, designers and other pros at our booths during an action packed week.

IBS and KBIS offer an opportunity to meet face-to-face with industry professionals to learn about their businesses and help them to get the most out of our Houzz Pro marketing and business management software. We heard so many tremendous stories from our customers about how we have helped to transform their businesses. Sara Malek Barney, founder and principal designer of Bandd Design said, “Houzz Pro is worth the investment because it does everything for us.” Christopher Seymour, founder of Nehemiah Construction LLC shared that he’s “made over two million dollars extra with Houzz.”

We hosted educational sessions from our booth on the tradeshow floor, including presentations on becoming a social media influencer with the Perkins Builder Brothers, diversifying your business with designers Wendy Glaister and Ann Ueno, and expanding your business to new locations with designers John McClain and Andrea Martoccia-Fava.

Liza Hausman, Houzz VP of Industry Marketing, presented Houzz research on the latest remodeling industry design trends. Beyond the booth, Ms. Hausman also delivered an IBS Tech Bytes talk on the three tools pros can use to create a superior customer experience.

Houzz Pro was featured at the IBS New Product Zone showcasing our most recently released tools to help pros run more efficient, profitable businesses, including Houzz Pro Takeoffs to help builders, remodelers and specialty contractors create fast and accurate estimates.

Houzz editors have compiled a story about the latest products, features, styles and trends on display at IBS and KBIS. Check out our article on the “Eight Trends in New Home Design Products for 2022”.

Thanks to all of the builders, remodelers, designers, brands, manufacturers and vendors who took the time to stop by our booth. Our team is excited to take the momentum from these shows into 2022!
