ebuild offers the broadest range of building product information for professional homebuilders and remodelers available on the Web. It is a free public Web site published by Hanley Wood Business Media, which, through its Web sites, magazines and trade shows, is the leading provider of information to the residential construction industry.
ebuild combines a number of databases into a powerful information tool. At its heart is a manufacturer directory with contact and product information for more than 5,500 construction product manufacturers ranging from basement waterproofing systems to roofing products and everything in between, including windows and doors, faucets and plumbing fixtures, cabinets and appliances, and structural products such as I-joists and roof trusses.
Product information and buying sources for specific types of products are easy to find through ebuild's highly developed classification system, which enables users to drill down from general product groupings to specific categories organized with logic and terms that are most familiar to building pros. Links associated with the manufacturer listings lead users to product catalogs, specification sheets, installation instructions and warranty information, and also to manufacturers' Web sites for even more information and dealer locators.
Informative articles from Hanley Wood's vast array of home building-focused magazines and Web sites can be found on ebuild's Articles tab. There, as well as throughout ebuild's category landing pages, you find new product announcements, product roundups and reviews and product-related news from BUILDER, REMODELING, BUILDING PRODUCTS and CUSTOM HOME and HW's other industry-leading publications. Also look for the most recent findings of the BUILDER Brand-Use Study, an annual survey that shows trends in product selection, usage and quality perception of the industry's leading brands.
Find full-line building products catalogs from a wide assortment of manufacturers on ebuild's Catalogs tab. Video programs featuring product demonstrations, installation methods, product promotions and industry events can be found on the Videos tab.
