The Building Code

How builders and suppliers strengthen stability in an evolving market


Listen Later

Volatility in pricing, lead times and material availability isn’t going away – but the way builders and suppliers partner can determine whether projects stay on schedule and client experience can evolve.

 

In this episode of “The Building Code”, guest host Scott Hale is joined by:

  • Thom Black (VP of Purchasing, CBUSA)
  • Jon Showalter (COO/VP, Homes by Dickerson)
  • Brian Humphreys (Director – Builder Channel Sales, Kohler)
  •  

    Together, they break down what trust between builders and suppliers looks like in practice, including using analytics to reduce uncertainty, building discipline around selections, collaborating across the supply chain to forecast demand and why face-to-face relationships still matter in a digital-first industry.

     

    What you’ll learn:

    • How trust and transparency stabilize pricing and schedules during volatile market conditions
    • Why solving root causes (not symptoms) leads to better long-term supply chain outcomes
    • Where technology improves forecasting and visibility and where relationships still matter most
    •  

      A builder-centric blog that breaks down key procurement lessons and how CBUSA’s network and strategies help builders avoid costly mistakes.
