Alair Homes Takes Center Stage at IBS 2026
Alair Homes® is poised to make a significant impact at the 2026 International Builders' Show (IBS) in Orlando, Florida. The event will prominently feature The New American Home® 2026, which represents a culmination of innovative design and responsible building practices. Alair aims to showcase its commitment to high-performance building, operational excellence, and the meaningful impact construction can have on communities.
A Glimpse into The New American Home® 2026
Built by the talented Alair Orlando team, The New American Home® 2026 exemplifies ambitious residential architecture and engineering. This year’s showcase is noteworthy not just for its construction but also for its altruistic mission. Notably,
one hundred percent of the proceeds from this initiative will be donated to Jonathan's Landing, an organization dedicated to supporting employment and housing for adults on the autism spectrum. The company believes in intertwining technical proficiency with a commitment to social responsibility, suggesting that the future of homebuilding goes beyond bricks and mortar.
Among the striking features of this home, a highlight includes a
16-car underground garage, demonstrating both architectural prowess and forward-thinking engineering. The design also incorporates advanced building systems engineered to achieve a negative Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score, further illustrating Alair's dedication to sustainable living environments.
Rob Cecil, CEO of Alair, expressed excitement about the company's presence at IBS, stating, "IBS is where the industry gathers to see what is possible," emphasizing that this year is all about showcasing achievable innovations when the right values align with construction practices.
Leadership Talks at IBS 2026
In addition to showcasing The New American Home®, Alair executives will actively participate in talks during the event. They will share insights on vital topics that shape the future of residential construction. Leadership presentations aim to cover strategies for building smarter, anticipating market shifts, and confidently expanding into remodeling.
