Entrepreneurial in every sense, Audree from www.ModularSureSite.com has specific career advice for all of us in the industry. A not-to-be-missed, live from IBS2020 in Las Vegas, www.BuildPerspectives.com episode.

In an industry saturated with 200+ product certifications, how is a consumer, designer, specifier, end-user, installer, municipality, building official, or developer supposed to tell what's good and what's bad? What material to use over another?

A lot of these so-called certifications are self reported. Some are simply good marketing. What if a building materials manufacturer certified the whole company rather than just a specific line of products?

How does that change what's possible in our industry? www.BuildPerspectives.com
