All homes start with good design. No matter what aspect of home building you are in—single family, custom building, remodeling or sales and marketing—design touches everyone involved. Seize the opportunity to network and learn from industry experts at Design Central (LVCC W213). Here you’ll be able to attend specialized seminars and access vital tools to create designs that are sure to wow and inspire.
Design Central is also home to the popular plan reviews! Bring your plans and sign-up early to reserve a spot to meet one-on-one with an expert who will spend 30 minutes reviewing your home or community development plans and providing creative ideas for changing or expanding them to better meet the needs of today’s home buyers. Reviews will be taking place during certain times on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of the Builders’ Show and sign ups start at 7:30 each morning for that day’s limited time slots. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make sure your plans are up to par!
