State of Influence 50: Builders highlights craftsmanship, innovation and leadership, with honorees included in a television special scheduled to air on Fox Business.
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 6, 2026 / Industry & Influence is recognizing the companies shaping residential construction through State of Influence 50: Builders, a national recognition program selecting one standout builder from each of the 50 states.
The Builder 50 program brings attention to the craftsmanship, design, innovation and leadership behind the homes and communities taking shape across America. With one selection per state, the program creates a national platform for builders whose work and contributions distinguish them in their markets.
"Behind every exceptional home is a builder making hundreds of decisions that affect how people live," said Sydney Carter of Industry & Influence. "We want to recognize the companies that take that responsibility seriously, from the quality of their craftsmanship to the relationships they build with their clients and communities. Builder 50 gives those companies a national platform to share their work."
Each honoree will receive Industry & Influence's recognition as the No. 1 Builder in its state, along with a dedicated company profile, an official recognition badge and a press release distributed through outlets including Business Insider and Markets Insider.
Every selected builder will also be included in a one-hour television special independently produced by Industry & Influence and scheduled to air on Fox Business. The special will introduce viewers to the selected companies and the work behind their recognition. The exact air date will be announced closer to the broadcast.
The program's focus spans the quality of a builder's work, its approach to design and construction, its leadership and its contributions to the communities it serves. Bringing these stories together offers a view of residential building across the country, with each state represented by a single honoree.
Applications and nominations are accepted for states where a selection remains open. Once a builder is selected, that state's position closes for the current edition. Applications are reviewed independently, and submission does not guarantee selection. The application and licensing fee is fully refundable for applicants who are not selected.
