Metal Builder is the newest title in our family of business-to-business publications, covering industry news, best practices, cutting-edge innovations, ideas, and resources for the metal building professional.

Covering everything from metal framing to panels to roofing, and buildings made of metal from the ground up, Metal Builder magazine provides practical information and inspiration. Sources include industry experts, suppliers, builders, and engineers, so builders know they are getting the best advice on topics from pre-construction planning to adding the final touches plus every step in between.

About Our Shows:

Our construction shows are “buying” shows where professionals in the construction industry can find their next product or idea, or meet their next supplier.

Connecting Exhibitors and Decision-Makers

1. Our educational programming emphasizes topics decision-makers want to see. We are not targeting crews and the person holding the hammer. We value them, but they are not our target for shows.

2. Our educational programming is included with the charge for general admission. General admission is $50. If you have relationships with exhibitors, they have an unlimited number of free guest passes. These passes include the educational programming and are good for contractors, manufacturers, or anyone else.

3. We keep it simple and business-oriented. If you are looking for a supplier, it doesn’t take three days. Our exhibit hours are Wednesday and Thursday so you can get in, do business, and still spend your weekend with your family.

The Post-Frame Builder Show is our third show. We continue to learn from our experience and strive to improve with every show. A huge part of that is listening to our exhibitors and attendees. We need feedback to keep getting better.

Learn more about our construction shows below. We can help you plan your travel, register for admission, and find your next product line at our rollforming show, our garage building show, and our post-frame building show.
