History and profile
Established in 1936, Pro Builder (formerly Professional Builder) magazine publishes to a primarily U.S.-based circulation six times per year, plus a “Pre-Show Planner” edition every December in collaboration with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) for the annual International Builders’ Show (IBS).
The brand was founded by Cahners Publishing Company,[1][2] in Des Plaines, Illinois,[2] which moved to Newton, Massachusetts, in the 1990s.[3][4] Following its acquisition by Reed Business Information, the magazine moved to Oak Brook, Illinois.[5] In 2010, Reed Business Information closed the magazine, but it was purchased and relaunched soon after by Scranton Gillette Communications, in Arlington Heights, Illinois. It is currently published by SGC Horizon (a division of Scranton Gillette Communications), a diversified media, content, marketing, and events company based in Palatine, Illinois.
