The 2025 International Builders Show (IBS) in Las Vegas was a whirlwind of innovation, networking, and inspiration, bringing together the brightest minds in the residential home building industry, weaving together the theme of “Architecture is Frozen Music”. The event kicked off with a powerful opening ceremony featuring a moving rendition of the national anthem, performances from talented local artists, and an inspiring welcome message from industry leaders. To add a touch of humor, comedian David Spade took the stage, delivering a lighthearted and entertaining start to the show. For those in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector, this annual event is a hub for discovering new technologies, trends, and opportunities that can elevate the way we build homes for the future.
The theme of this year’s IBS was Architecture is Frozen Music.
The energy was palpable the moment we stepped onto the floor of the 2025 International Builders’ Show (IBS) in Las Vegas. The hum of industry leaders discussing new technologies, the awe-inspiring booth displays, and the buzz of collaboration made it clear—this was more than just a trade show. It was a glimpse into the future of homebuilding.
For those of us at Fieldstone Architecture & Engineering, IBS is always an incredible opportunity to connect with our clients, explore the latest advancements in residential construction, and celebrate the work that shapes our industry. This year, however, was even more special.
Industry Insights and Key Takeaways
Walking the show floor, it was impossible to ignore the rapid evolution of homebuilding. From cutting-edge offsite construction methods to advanced energy-efficient solutions, the industry’s focus was clear—smarter, faster, and more sustainable development.
Sessions on AI-driven design tools and streamlining the production homebuilding process sparked conversations about how technology is reshaping efficiency and precision in the field. We also saw an increased emphasis on attainable housing solutions, reinforcing that innovation must serve both builders and homeowners in meaningful ways.
One of the most exciting discussions revolved around lot scheduling and project management improvements—a topic close to our hearts as we continue working alongside production builders to refine and enhance these processes. Hearing firsthand how industry leaders are tackling the same challenges we’re solving for our clients was both validating and inspiring.
IBS is always an incredible opportunity to connect with our clients.
A Moment of Recognition: Winning Silver for Best Website Design
While IBS is always about pushing forward, we also had the honor of celebrating a major milestone for Fieldstone. We are thrilled to announce that we were awarded a National Association of Home Builders Silver Award for Best Website Design for an Associate and Supplier!
This recognition is especially meaningful because our website isn’t just a digital presence, it’s a reflection of who we are. It was designed to be a resource for builders, a hub of inspiration, and a visual representation of providing a One-Stop-Shop for community design to our clients. Being recognized at an event as prestigious as the NAHB Nationals Awards is a proud moment for our team, and it fuels our passion for continuous improvement.
Capturing Our Work in Las Vegas: A Tribute to Talent
Beyond the conference center lights, we took the opportunity to step outside the event and explore the Cadence and surrounding communities—where many of our architectural projects have come to life.
Standing in front of finished homes, seeing the seamless blend of form and function, and knowing the thought and collaboration that went into every detail reinforced why we do what we do. These homes are more than structures—they are communities, they are lifestyles, they are the result of the dedication and vision of our clients and team.
Capturing these projects through photography not only showcases our team’s talent but also tells a story—one of partnership, innovation, and execution. We look forward to sharing these images with our clients and celebrating the incredible work that we’ve accomplished together.
