Originally Published as: RURAL BUILDER SOURCE BOOK: Let’s Show Off Great Rural Buildings Call for Projects: Rural Builder Source Book
Every year, we look forward to one of our favorite issues of Rural Builder: The Rural Builder Source Book. It’s our chance to celebrate the buildings that make this industry special—and the builders behind them.
The Source Book brings together standout rural projects from across the country. Agricultural buildings, equine facilities, shops, churches, commercial spaces, storage buildings—we want to see them all. If you’re proud of a project, chances are it has something to teach, inspire, or spark an idea for another builder.
When you submit a project, you’re doing more than sharing photos. You’re helping us tell the real stories of rural construction, how challenges were solved, how clients’ needs were met, and how thoughtful design and quality materials come together in the field.
Being selected also gives your business meaningful visibility. Featured projects receive national exposure in Rural Builder, reaching builders, suppliers, engineers, and decision-makers throughout the industry. You’ll also receive an “As Seen in the Rural Builder Source Book” digital badge to use on your website, proposals, and social media.
We make it easy to participate. Submissions include basic company and project details, a list of key materials and systems, and clear, high-quality photos. If your project is selected, you’ll have the opportunity to review the layout before publication—and we’ll provide high-resolution digital files of your published pages for your own marketing use.
All contributors receive a complimentary subscription to Rural Builder (or an extension if you’re already a subscriber), so you’ll have the issue your project appears in to share with your team and customers.
The Rural Builder Source Book is built by builders, for builders. If you’ve completed a project you’re proud of, we’d love to see it—and share it with the rest of the industry.
