This summer Pro Tour featured two recently constructed single family homes by two different project teams. The event began with an opening presentation where the teams behind each of the homes gave overviews of the design and construction of the projects. Attendees traveled together (by bus) to the two sites. At each site, attendees split into small groups to hear from the experts involved in specific aspects of the project. The event concluded with a reception and a chance for attendees to ask questions.

This event was cohosted by Wyeth Architects and Mercer Bertsche Vernott Architects.
