About this listen

Each week’s insights will be broken into three segments: new products/techniques in the building world, larger trends in the building industry, and a fun look inside a current project. They will discuss industry challenges and improvements. They will focus on the idea of connection: whether it be a new prodect to a build or a new approach to solution. Ultimately, it is about connecting teams, products and processes to build better homes.© 2026 Pace Blair, Adam Diamond Economics
