Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage of the first responders, service members and everyday Americans who answered tragedy with extraordinary bravery.

May we never forget.

AI is already changing homebuilding—but are builders ready to use it where it really counts?

In the first episode of our three-part AI series on The Build Up, NAHB COO Paul Lopez joins John Riddle and Ryan Benson to talk about where AI is making an impact today and what could be coming next—from back-office efficiencies to permitting, design and jobsite automation.

They also tackle the question many builders are asking: How do you embrace AI without risking your reputation, wasting money or investing in the wrong tools?

Paul shares the national perspective on what builders are actually using, where the biggest opportunities are and why the best approach to AI isn't full speed ahead—it's thoughtful, industry-specific adoption.
