Home Builders Association of Greenville members can register for the annual Greenbuild International Conference and Expo — which takes place Oct. 5-7, 2016 in Los Angeles — and be eligible for a free pass to the show floor on Oct. 5 and 6.
That’s normally a $100 ticket, but because of the Top Tier Partner status the National Association of Home Builders has arranged, it’s a free member benefit this year.
This year’s show features the KB Home ProjecKT, focused on affordable high-tech design, and other events and exhibits that appeal to residential builders, a growing focus of the annual green show.
To take advantage of the member discount, register using this portal. Early-bird registration for the full conference, which includes education sessions, ends Aug. 1.
In 2016, your Home Builders Association worked diligently to advance the issues most important to our members. The HBA was actively engaged in more than 170 bills during the 2015-16 legislative session to promote and protect the vital work of home builders and developers across South Carolina.
These items along with other legislative and regulatory issues including building and energy codes, Home Owners Assocation reform, storm-water and septic tank policies and impact fees created a total savings of over $400 million for 2016 alone! That is a savings to S.C. homeowners of more than $14,285 per house in unnecessary regulatory costs. This success is is attributed to you, our members…Thank you!
Your HBA influences government on all levels. Our goal is to protect affordable housing and to stop needless regulatory costs, which ultimately trickles down and affects everyone who works in the home.
If you know someone who makes their living in the construction industry, but is not a member, ask them why. Keep our industry strong and ask that they join the HBA today to make sure they have a job tomorrow!
