We had great conversations with our guests on this 3-part series. Give it a listen, and if you like the conversation…give us a thumbs up and subscribe!

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.

We are honored to share that Villa Solara has been awarded first place in the single-family $3.2M – $3.6 M category at the 2026 Parade of Homes Orlando.

While we are incredibly grateful for this recognition, what means the most to us is what it validates.

At Turning Leaf Custom Homes, we have always believed that today’s luxury home should be more than beautiful. It should be thoughtfully designed, expertly crafted, energy-efficient, resilient, healthy, and built to serve generations of homeowners. Receiving this award reinforces our belief that exceptional design and exceptional performance belong together.

Villa Solara is the result of a shared vision between wonderful homeowners, talented designers, dedicated trade partners, and a team that takes tremendous pride in every detail. Every decision, from the structural integrity of ICF construction to the carefully curated finishes, reflects our commitment to building homes that are as enduring as they are beautiful.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our homeowners for trusting us with their vision, to the Parade of Home judges for this tremendous honor, and to the architects, designers, suppliers, and trade partners whose craftsmanship made Villa Solara possible.

Most importantly, thank you to every member of the Turning Leaf team. Your passion, professionalism, and commitment to excellence are what this award truly celebrates.

This recognition is appreciated, but our greatest reward has never been the awards themselves, it has always been earning the trust of families to build a place where their lives will unfold for generations.
