Do you ever find yourself with a question about home building, remodeling, or the residential construction industry as a whole, but you’re not sure who to ask?

Or you’re interested in gaining the perspective of other industry professionals across the country, but your existing peer network doesn’t reach far enough?

NAHB Connect, a free, online platform, helps connect NAHB members with one another for discussions, learning, sharing ideas and more.

Members on the NAHB Connect platform engage in discussions on a wide variety of topics. Whether it’s permitting challenges at the local level or comparing and contrasting different building techniques, there’s always someone on the platform who is willing to provide their insight, experience and assistance to help a fellow member.

Popular discussion topics in 2021 included cameras for construction sites, how NAHB membership has helped member businesses, and what builders wished real estate agents knew.

Another exciting way the platform is being used is to announce personal successes, like launching a new website or finalizing a career-changing contract. The community is characterized by a sense of support and care for other professionals that is hard to come by.

The start of a new year is a great time to create your profile and join in on the discussion. If you’re not yet a member of NAHB Connect, you can create your profile today at connect.nahb.org. Use the same credentials you use to sign in to nahb.org.
