Construction, Homebuilders, Technology, The Builder's Daily /

Dozens of innovative companies have sprung up over the past 15 years, each vowing to revolutionize home building.  Many haven’t, don’t, and won’t make it through the “early-stage” gauntlet of A, B, and C series capital raises, where they can pay off their debt, cover their bills and sustainably generate net earnings from their operations.

Builders started 2026 with margin pressure, then came Iran war risk

Construction, Homebuilders, Leadership, Residential Real Estate, The Builder's Daily /

Making less money but making steady headway may be a crude way to boil down what early 2026 was looking like for many homebuilding business leaders.

Construction, Contributors, HWmember, Opinion /

Transitioning from military service to a civilian career is rarely straightforward. For me, it led to the built environment — an industry that, to my surprise, felt immediately familiar.
