At the 2027 NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS), Rich Kogelschatz will share proven strategies to help builders eliminate callbacks and create a more consistent, error-free construction process.
The session, Eliminate Callbacks: Proven Strategies for Error-Free Construction, focuses on two critical parts of successful home building: thorough pre-construction planning and effective construction management.
Build Better Processes. Reduce Costly Callbacks.
Construction callbacks cost builders time, money and customer confidence. Stronger processes prevent problems before they become expensive fixes.
In this IBS 2027 Education session, Rich explains how to strengthen pre-construction planning and manage projects more effectively using scopes of work, checklists and job site management strategies.
Attendees will gain practical insights to help them:
- Improve pre-construction planning to set projects up for success.
- Use scopes of work and checklists to establish clear expectations and maintain consistency.
- Strengthen jobsite management to keep construction processes on track.
- Reduce construction errors and callbacks to protect time, budgets and customer satisfaction.
Whether you’re looking to refine existing processes or establish better systems for your team, this session offers actionable ideas you can put to work in your business.
Looking Ahead: Housing Trends & Industry Challenges
Beyond construction quality, Rich watches trends that will shape the future of home building. Health and wellness in housing is an emerging area of interest, while accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and multigenerational housing are expected to create new opportunities.
Affordability remains one of the industry’s biggest challenges. Builders who adapt to changing housing needs and find more efficient ways to plan and manage projects will be better positioned to respond to evolving buyer expectations.
His Advice for First-Time IBS Attendees
The Builders’ Show offers plenty to explore, but Rich recommends arriving with a plan.
Review the IBS Education schedule before you arrive and select a couple of sessions for each day. Research exhibitors and products you want to see, then balance your time between education and the show floor. He also recommends attending the DCW Opening Ceremonies for valuable takeaways.
His top tip? Don’t try to do everything. Focus on the sessions, products and connections that will make the biggest difference in your business.
