What Builder and Developer does

Builder and Developer (B&D) is a U.S. trade publication targeting professional homebuilders, developers, architects, designers, and housing industry stakeholders. Operated under the Builder.Media publishing group alongside five sister titles — Green Home Builder, ABC Green Home, American Infrastructure, Residential Contractor, and Options — it delivers coverage of the housing economy, industry developments, market research, regulatory and legislative tracking, and architecture and design content through a monthly print magazine, a website (bdmag.com), digital flipbook editions, email newsletters, webinars, and industry events. The publication is headquartered in Newport Beach, California, and was launched in 2022 as part of Builder.Media, with Sofia Feeney serving as Editor and Taylor Moore as Assistant Editor.

The core product is the B&D Magazine print and digital edition, with revenue generated primarily through professional subscriptions and advertising (a dedicated media kit page is maintained at bdmag.com/media-kit). Distribution leverages a multi-channel approach spanning print, digital flipbook, website, webinars/virtual events, and email newsletters, with social media presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, X, and Facebook. The publication editorializes on major industry events, including the Berkshire Hathaway acquisition of Taylor Morrison for $8.5 billion announced in May 2026 and Lennar's C-suite appointments, positioning itself as a real-time news and policy intelligence layer for the U.S. homebuilding sector.
