Starts in One Hour! Join the HPHT has a special guest!


Hello Reader,

The wait is finally over! The AIBD High Performance Homes Team event kicks off TODAY at 2 PM EST, and we couldn’t be more excited for you to join us.

Paul Pakyz, from the Gulf Coast Building Alliance, embarked on a journey to build his own home and sought a superior house wrap for the project.

His quest led him to Block-It, manufactured by Kimberly-Clark.

He was so impressed with the product that he used it in his home and joined the company to help market it across the Southeastern United States.

Paul has agreed to attend today's HPHT gathering and tell his story. How did he go about his search? What is so superior about Block-It? And why did it convince him to alter his career path?

This event is more than just a roundtable—it's a chance to engage with industry professionals, like Paul, and other like-minded individuals passionate about pushing home design's boundaries. Whether you're looking for cutting-edge insights or opportunities to build valuable connections, this is the place to be.

This fun and informal forum will dive deep into innovative approaches to sustainable, resilient, accessible, and durable housing, offering actionable takeaways and meaningful discussions.

Register and you'll receive an email with the link to join the Event (And a second one with a link to the replay).

We’re looking forward to seeing you there and sharing this inspiring experience together.
