The post frame industry continues to change quickly, and SmartBuild is entering 2026 with the same commitment that has guided us from the beginning. We listen to builders, we solve real problems, and we keep improving the core product that so many rely on every day. This year already feels like one of the most promising in our history.
Many of you know that Keith is moving into a well deserved retirement season, and Johnny Drozdek is stepping into his role. With that transition comes a renewed focus on strengthening what already works. Our team is concentrating on speed, efficiency, and overall performance. The goal is simple. Make SmartBuild faster and easier to use while continuing to deliver the features and fixes our builders ask for. The mission has not changed. Take care of our customers and keep raising the standard for post frame software.
We are also expanding SmartBuild’s reach through partnerships and integrations that solve broader industry needs. One example is our integration with Struxsure Plans, which helps builders meet the growing demand for engineered plans as code requirements increase. Another is our mobile friendly 3D website configurator integration with IdeaRoom. More customers shop from their phones than ever before, and this tool helps suppliers capture that audience and close more leads with less effort.
For those focused on metal roofing, SmartBuild RF is receiving a major upgrade. It will offer a simple and accurate roofing only solution built on the same intelligence as our core product.
With a growing team and a clear roadmap, improvements will arrive faster than ever. We are grateful for the builders who continue to push us and trust us. The future of SmartBuild is bright, and we look forward to sharing what comes next.
