How do we do what we do for you?
The Canadian Home Builders' Association is one association representing the residential construction industry and serving our members at three levels-locally, provincially and nationally.
For over fifty years, all levels have worked closely together in your area, and local members automatically become a member at the local, provincial and national levels.
You, and members, benefit from Association services and activities at all three levels:
Locally
The CHBA-Central Alberta, individually and collaboratively, offers monthly meetings, newsletters, publications, workshops, access to expert advice, marketing campaigns, demonstration projects, awards programs, social activities...a full slate of services and activities that provides the opportunity for members and consumers to make business contacts, gain and share knowledge, and develop the regional residential construction industry.
Our Association is actively involved in the communities where our members and their customers live and work. Through ongoing representation to municipal government, media relations and consumer education, we address important issues head on and have a strong presence that benefits members and contributes to housing affordability and the well-being of communities across Canada.
- We advocate the interests of the housing industry with the local government, making sure that political decision-makers and public servants respond to our concerns and priorities.
We make representations to intergovernmental bodies where local and provincial governments meet and make decisions affecting the industry.
- We report to our members on important issues through regular newsletters, special reports and a wide range of other publications.
- We create alliances with private and public research agencies to promote solutions, innovation and demonstration projects that benefit both the industry and consumers.
- We join forces with local partners on marketing activities to inform consumers, promote professional new home builders and renovators, and provide business opportunities for members.
- We develop courses, workshops, educational publications and consumer materials for the benefit of members everywhere.
- We act as a forum for information sharing. We collect and distribute industry news. Through our Councils and Standing Committees, members exchange ideas and learn from each other. And our website with a separate Members' Area keeps everyone up to date on the latest issues, developments and actions.
- We deliver training, advice and support for Association staff and volunteers across the region to support their efforts to deliver valuable services and benefits to members.
Provincially
The CHBA - Alberta works with the provincial government and agencies on a wide range of housing matters, from codes and standards to infrastructure financing and environmental legislation. Education and training programs for HBA members are organized and delivered at the provincial level.
Members are kept up to date on all provincial activities and developments. In addition, provincial conferences and awards programs provide opportunities for members to meet and network with peers from across the province and to promote their businesses. Education and training programs for Association members are organized at the provincial level.
Nationally
CHBA's national office provides a "hub" for the entire membership. The national office works with the federal government on issues that affect members-finance policy, taxation and the underground economy are some examples.
As well, CHBA collaborates with public and private agencies to promote housing research and demonstration projects, consumer education programs and national marketing initiatives like New Homes Month and Renovation Month. The national office also provides members with a wide range newsletters, technical and marketing publications, and presents the annual CHBA National Conference and Awards programs.
