Professional Builder

Professional Builder is a trade publication and web site serving the information needs of the housing and light construction marketplace.

Established in 1936, Professional Builder magazine is published monthly with two additional issues in the fall (usually mid September or October) and December. The fall issue is called the Builder's Own Issue, which provides a look at the homes that builders build for themselves and the products they have chosen. The December issue focuses on the International Builders' Show, which previews products from the event.

For over 40 years, Professional Builder selected a home builder who has paved the way for the rest of the industry. Every year, the magazine awarded this group the title Builder of the Year; 2007's winner was Shea Homes.

As of December 2007, total BPA audited circulation was 125,286 subscribers.

In 2010, former owner Reed Business Information sold the magazine to MB Media.

Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or builder:

    Never be intimidated when you deal with men. Curse, don’t cry.
    Anonymous, U.S. professional woman. As quoted in Aspirations and Mentoring in an Academic Environment, ch. 4, by Mary Niles Maack and Joanne Passet (1994)

    Nature is a self-made machine, more perfectly automated than any automated machine. To create something in the image of nature is to create a machine, and it was by learning the inner working of nature that man became a builder of machines.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
