Last week BDX parent company, Builder Homesite (BHI) celebrated the company’s anniversary. 14 years ago, the country’s leading builders began collaborating on digital marketing ideas that could elevate and transform the entire building industry. This anniversary was a great time to reflect on how much has changed in those years both from an industry and a technology perspective.

We’ve gone from a handful of founding builders listing their homes on NewHomeSource.com to over 1000 builder clients taking advantage of a variety of digital marketing and technology solutions. From mobile solutions, to innovative sales center technologies, social media and the advances in rendering and digital media, BDX is at the forefront of builder marketing, media and technology solutions. We’ve also seen our industry hit all time highs and weather the downturn. Through it all our priority has been focused on helping our builders succeed.

To help us celebrate, our BHI board members joined us at our Austin office to participate in a panel discussion and share their thoughts on the state of the building industry. We welcomed Stuart Miller from Lennar, David Weekley, Allan Merrill from Beazer, and Richard Dugas from Pulte. As employees posed insightful and sometimes challenging questions, the panel responded with thoughtful and inspiring views into their business.

And of course, as we reflect on the past, it is the perfect time to look forward and get excited about everything that 2014 will bring to our industry and our builders. We can’t wait to work with you this year and help you grow your business!
