NBMDA partners with the Institute for Trend Research (ITR) to develop a series of customized economic reports produced exclusively for NBMDA members. Produced four times per year by ITR Senior Economists, the NBMDA Economic Outlook Report correlates macroeconomic data to specific product categories directly related to the building material industry. The report allows you to forecast what effect the economy has on your business and what you can reasonably expect for up to six quarters in the future.

NBMDA and Habitat for Humanity have begun a relationship to promote Habitat's ReStores and our shared values of community involvement, housing opportunities and environmental stewardship. Many NBMDA members already support Habitat through local or national partnerships. NBMDA is encouraging all of its members to join the effort by donating materials and products to the Habitat ReStore in their trade area.
