The Buildings Show Toronto:
Why Continuous Learning Matters in Building Supply
In construction and building materials, things don’t stay the same for long. New codes. New technologies. New product innovations. New expectations from customers who are more informed now than ever before.
If we aren’t learning, actively and consistently, we’re falling behind.
At Hewson Brothers, we’ve always believed that experience matters. But so does evolution. The best builders, contractors, sales reps, and suppliers are the ones who stay curious. The ones who go see what’s new, ask questions, and look for ways to do things better, not just because the industry is changing, but because it should be changing.
That’s why continuous education is a core part of our culture here. Whether it’s internal training, product knowledge sessions, jobsite visits, or industry events — we don’t just talk about growth, we practice it.
The Buildings Show: Learning in Real Time
This December, members of our team will be attending The Buildings Show in Toronto, one of the biggest industry events in Canada. It’s an opportunity to:
- Connect face-to-face with our manufacturers and partners
- Explore new materials, products, and building science innovations
- Ask smart questions about performance, durability, sustainability, and cost
- Understand where the industry is heading—and how to help our customers stay ahead of it
The Buildings Show isn’t just a trade floor with booths. It’s a pulse check on where our industry is going next.
And in a time when performance standards are rising, supply chains are shifting, and efficiency matters more than ever, staying informed isn’t optional, it’s essential.
Why This Matters for Our Customers
Our customers don’t just come to us for materials. They come to us for guidance. For insight. For product knowledge. For the kind of support that makes their jobs run smoother, faster, smarter.
By staying up to date, we’re able to:
-
Recommend better and more cost-effective solutions
-
Support modern wall assembly requirements and building codes
-
Help builders navigate air barriers, insulation systems, acoustics, and envelope performance
-
Bring new ideas and best practices to every conversation
We learn so we can share—and we share so our customers can win.
To everyone we’ll see at The Buildings Show—manufacturers, reps, builders, architects, engineers, designers, and tradespeople—we’re looking forward to connecting, collaborating, and imagining what’s possible together.
Because staying sharp isn’t about keeping up. It’s about leading.
