The Who, How,
What and Why's of CCHBA Membership |
Who
The
Caldwell County Home Builders Association is a trade
association consisting of single and multi-family
builders, developers, remodelors, suppliers and other
allied professionals to the residential construction
industry.
How
The CCHBA is made up of members who are
geographically located both in Caldwell and the
surrounding counties.
Upon joining the CCHBA, membership
is automatically accorded to the North Carolina Home
Builders Association as well as the National Association
of Home Builders in Washington, DC.
The
annual membership dues of $320 (for
builder and associate members--$25 for affiliate
members) pay for all three memberships.
What
Three types of membership are
available. Builder Members are involved in residential,
commercial and industrial construction or remodeling and
have to have a valid North Carolina Contractor's
License.
Associate Members provide supplies or a service to
builder members such as architects, building materials
suppliers, insurance agencies, attorneys, electricians,
bankers, engineers, etc.
Affiliate Members (only $25 per year) are from
organizations that already have a Builder or Associate
Member in the CCHBA. Affiliate memberships allow one
company (like realty firms or banks) to have multiple
members in the CCHBA at a reduced cost.
WHY
We
live in a world of increasing regulations and new
"fees". Our industry is increasingly seen, incorrectly,
as a cash cow for local governments. As Abraham Lincoln
rightly said, ""A house divided against itself cannot
stand". If we are united as an industry, we have a much
better chance to protect our common interests.
Other benefits are numerous. Better rates on insurance,
networking and educational opportunities, and the pride
that comes from being a member of an organization which
helps provide part of the American Dream: home
ownership.
