Fifth Residential Design Symposium

By Masonry

The National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) will conduct its fifth Residential Design Symposium for homebuilders at the Orlando Airport Marriott on Jan. 10 - one day before the opening of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) International Builder Show (IBS).

The IBS is a leading event for homebuilders around the world. NCMA is conducting a special one-day residential design symposium that will offer homebuilders a greater understanding of the wide variety of concrete masonry units available and how concrete masonry can be used not only to beautify homes, but to also make them stronger and safer - "Built for Life."

The preliminary agenda includes educational presentations by homebuilders who utilize concrete masonry products in their residential home building businesses and tours of The New American Home and the IBS Show Home.
