Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kermit Baker Discusses Commercial and Residential Construction Outlook
Q: Which market segments look strongest for non-residential construction, and what does that mean for flooring professionals?
Data centers, manufacturing, and warehouses have been the strongest markets, representing a large share of activity; however, converting opportunities into flooring contracts remains challenging due to different product requirements and entry barriers in those sectors.
Kermit Baker Discusses Commercial and Residential Construction Outlook
Q: What are the main headwinds you see impacting the industry this year, particularly regarding costs?
Inflation is a major issue, with inputs to construction up about 7% over the last year, driven largely by metals like steel, copper, and aluminum, which pressures pricing and planning for flooring and related products.
Kermit Baker Discusses Commercial and Residential Construction Outlook
Q: Let's start with the billing index and the inquiries for future work—what's your read on the trends right now?
In architecture, billings have been flat to modestly down for years, with inquiries for future work spiking recently, which could indicate a turning point toward increased workloads and construction activity in the next 6 to 12 months.
Benjamin Liebert Discusses Shaw Industries Partnership with Nebraska Furniture Mart
Q: This is their biggest store. They're giving you 50% of the space. That's quite a statement, isn't it?
Yes, this installation represents a significant commitment and a proving ground to demonstrate the strength of the Shaw-NFM partnership, with expectations of similar or greater collaboration in future projects.
Cheryl Durst Discusses Her Keynote Message at the Flooring Sustainability Summit in DC
Q: What are the core themes you plan to communicate in your keynote regarding flooring and sustainability?
The keynote emphasizes a shift from purely technical specs to a storytelling approach that connects the lifecycle of flooring materials to human impact, health, and dignity; it also highlights the need for a common lexicon across designers and manufacturers to align goals and accelerate sustainable practices.
