Staying Informed in the Building Industry

We always have our eyes on the ball so we see where we’re headed. That’s so important because trends and priorities change, and you don’t want to be left behind. That’s one reason why daily legal news updates from Ohio matter. The field we work in is constantly affected by laws, regulations and standards. When you incorporate innovative design features from cutting-edge materials suppliers, this attention to detail in the development and interpretation of the law becomes even more crucial. When I think about it, I’m reminded again of how much we value what we can read in daily legal news.

We’re always well-informed about what is going on, from breaking industry news to rule changes. A few recent examples have had direct effects on building and construction industry standards. They also have the potential to impact home builders, consumers and the direction and focus of future construction projects. Legal rules affecting the importability of plastic products, updates on requirements for raw materials, as well as price changes for basic commodities, all these will have ripple effects.

There’s nothing that a home builder and supplier like LTHOME like more than to be “in the know.” It gives us an edge over competitors who are not in our position. One thing is for sure, if I don’t have a build project on my calendar yet it’s only a matter of time before one is on the radar. I’ll be paying close attention to when we might start seeing some price adjustment to certain building materials and other major commodities. Staying on top of what’s going on with the law is an important part of being prepared when that happens.

I keep thinking back to what we have seen made possible by the use of the new polycarbonate polygloss as a building material. The chemical makeup of the Polygloss resists UV damage and doesn’t shatter on impact. It’s very tough – yet it still gives homeowners the desired aesthetic finish. It has perfect color retention which protects your value, and it is flexible and lightweight for ease of handling. Suppliers like us can help home builders incorporate such new technology into their designs and plans.

In addition, our paneled systems offer a high-end look that satisfies the consumer’s desire for unique and beautiful finishes. Systems like we have at LTHOME are like custom millwork – they give you the choice of a wide variety of colors, grains and textures to make a beautiful entryway system that delivers that wow factor.

Innovative and forward-thinking building materials are an important part of staying ahead and positioning ourselves to take advantage of new opportunities and market possibilities. People want what is different and new. We combine that with our ability to be flexible in how we deliver our product and make it available. At the same time, we are able to meet the strictest requirements. That combination of innovation and perfection is where we achieve excellence and great service, and make sure it is streamlined across the whole organization.

The bottom line is that having fresh knowledge about the legal news gives us an extra edge. Legal updates reflect trends in consumer demand, projected market growth and changes in the economics of the industry. We’re well-positioned to recognize and seize the opportunities that these will present. In turn, suppliers like us enable the builders and owners who come to us with the best possible materials and the right volume at the right time for their projects. What could be better than more success with each new project?
