BuildBlock 2015 Show Season

BuildBlock is officially  home after two weeks in Las Vegas from both NAHB International Builders Show (IBS) and World of Concrete (WOC). We enjoyed speaking with potential customers and  distributors while at the shows and building long-lasting relationships with each of them. 

At the IBS we enjoyed showing people our interactive booth with products to touch, see and learn about BuildBlock’s product line. Nothing is better than to speak with customers face to face and show them  that no other product is better than BuildBlock ICFs for their homes and for protecting their families. 

WOC was also a successful show, speaking with potential distributors and teaching contractors about our product. The more contractors know about our product, the more it will be used to build the strongest, most energy-efficient, disaster-proof buildings on the market. 

The annual ICF Builder Awards is held during WOC at the Las Vegas Convention Center. While attending the awards ceremony, BuildBlock was privileged to win BEST LARGE RESIDENTIAL and FIRST RUNNER-UP FOR LIGHT COMMERCIAL.

Best Large Residential was awarded for the Ker Thomson Home in Houston, TX, the triple certified green home using green technologies and BuildBlock ICFs. This impressive home has received a large amount of attention, and rightfully so.

First Runner-up for Light Commercial building was awarded to Musgrave Agencies based out of Lloydminster, Alberta, Canada. The first thing you notice on this building is the impressive size and  amount of the windows. BuildBlock played an important role in supporting the sheer weight of the windows without any complications.
