McGraw-Hill Partners With NAHB to Deliver Product Information to Members

For more than a century, McGraw-Hill Construction’s Sweets Product Marketplace has provided comprehensive listings and catalogs of building product information to builders, remodelers, residential developers, architects, contractors, designers and other building industry professionals. Through the agreement, McGraw-Hill Construction will co-brand its Sweets Directory and McGraw-Hill Construction Sweets Catalog File, available electronically and in print, with NAHB.

McGraw-Hill Construction will also be involved in several co-operative marketing and marketing research efforts with NAHB. McGraw-Hill Construction will become a co-sponsor of Nation’s Building News Online. The company also will provide Internet links between the McGraw-Hill Construction Web site (www.construction.com) and NAHB Web site, programs at the International Builders’ Show and other NAHB conferences and symposia activities.

“We have long sought to work more closely with the National Association of Home Builders to better serve the members of the housing industry, and this agreement allows us to do so,” said Norbert W. Young, Jr., FAIA, president, McGraw-Hill Construction.“First, the residential housing market is increasingly important to McGraw-Hill Construction. Second, NAHB is at the forefront of many construction issues of concern to construction professionals in general, such as using new environmentally-friendly building technologies. Indeed, as a strong proponent of the need for the industry to focus on sustainability and green construction, we will be a corporate sponsor of NAHB’s National Green Building Conference beginning next year.”

“With this agreement, we will have new opportunities to get key information and intelligence to builders so they can make informed decisions and grow their businesses successfully," Young continued.

“McGraw Hill Construction has been a long term supporter of NAHB and its objectives,” said NAHB President David F. Wilson. “With this agreement, our members will have easier access to the McGraw Hill Construction Sweets Product Marketplace. Moreover, by creating this alliance, NAHB will facilitate members’ access to other industry-critical information at conferences, tradeshows and symposia. We look forward to everyone reaping the rewards over the next few years.”
