Much has changed, rapidly, since our editorial staff started work on this annual residential product guide. While COVID-19 certainly will have an impact on the building products ecosystem, it is our hope that manufacturers will be able to weather the storm, coming out of this period strong and focused on providing the materials that will be needed for housing in the years ahead.
In the past 10 years, manufacturers have set new standards for resiliency, quality, and energy efficiency in building products. The “internet of things” has grown by leaps and bounds, with whole-home smart ecosystems within reach for buyers across all price points. And just as residential products have improved from one year to the next, we know manufacturers will keep building on their expertise and creating new strengths and efficiencies, through 2030 and beyond.
What follows are some of residential construction’s newest products, innovations, and practices. Plus, with the help of industry data providers—including Home Innovation Research Labs, the American Institute of Architects, and Zillow—we’ve uncovered the product types and trends new-home builders rely on most, across the country and across market segments.
