FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Bob Peterson, a renowned home builder and remodeler with over 40 years of experience, has been elected 2025 Second Vice Chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). His election was announced during the NAHB International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas, a key event for the construction and remodeling industries.

Peterson is the founder of Associates in Building + Design, Ltd. (ABD), a custom home building and high-end remodeling firm he established in 1990. While his daughters, Heather Schreiner and Alison Johnson, now own and operate ABD, he continues to serve as a consultant, lending his decades of expertise to the company.

“Our focus this year will be working with policymakers to ease burdensome regulations that needlessly raise housing and remodeling costs,” said Peterson.
“We will also seek to keep housing a top national priority and work with officials at all levels of government to ease the barriers that hinder the construction of new homes and apartments.”

“Education is key to driving excellence in our industry, and I am committed to helping train the next generation of home builders and remodelers,” Peterson has stated in previous interviews.

Peterson holds BA and MA degrees from the University of Northern Colorado and resides in Windsor, Colo.
