NAHB's most recent Cost of Doing Business study documents how builders across the country fared during the market upheaval of 2008. The results of the study will help builders put their own performance in perspective and allow them to compare their operations to those of their peers.

During the Cost of Doing Business webinar, one of the authors of NAHB's biannual Cost of Doing Business study, along with expert panelists, will discuss the most recent study's results and illustrate how builders can benefit from comparing their own financial results against the industry as a whole.
