2026 Blueprint Industry Pulse Check Closed

Thank You for Shaping the Future of Residential Construction

Thank you for your overwhelming response to the Industry Pulse Check — the first step in our Blueprint to 100 initiative. Thousands of industry professionals shared their perspectives through the Industry Pulse Check, providing valuable insights into the challenges, opportunities and priorities shaping the housing industry today.

NAHB is now analyzing the results to understand better:

  • What industry professionals like you need most from our association.
  • The challenges your businesses are facing today and in the future.
  • Opportunities to strengthen advocacy, education and member value.
  • How NAHB can evolve to serve the industry better as we approach our 100th anniversary.

The findings will help guide Blueprint to 100, NAHB’s initiative to build an even stronger association for the next generation of housing professionals. Participants who completed the Industry Pulse Check will receive an early summary of the findings before broader public release.

What is Blueprint to 100?

NAHB is the voice for industry professionals like you. As the residential construction industry changes, NAHB must evolve to meet the needs of industry professionals.
