Be an Early Bird to IBS

The fourth annual Residential Design Symposium, sponsored by the National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) and the Portland Cement Association (PCA) is scheduled for Jan. 12, a day before of the opening of the International Builders Show (IBS) in Orlando, FL.

The preliminary agenda includes a tour of, not only some of the IBS Show Homes in Baldwin Park, a development where concrete masonry homes are built, but presentations by David Weekley Homes, ranked 23 out of the 100 largest volume builders in the U.S. David Weekley Homes builds in 14 cities from Colorado to Florida and is the second largest privately held builder in America.  Attendees will also visit some of the homes being built by Weekley Homes from beginning construction to finished homes.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to incorporate concrete masonry into any project
