Advantages

The Canadian Home Builders' Association (CHBA) is a national organization comprised of over 6500 builders, designers, trades, suppliers and financial institutions across Canada.

Joining CHBA is a wise investment in your business, now and in the future. Membership provides an advantage over your competitor by identifying you as one of Canada's Home Building Professionals.

Participation in CHBA's Builders' Council, Suppliers' Council, Home Show Committee, and CARE Awards Committee offers members an opportunity to take advantage of business development opportunities, and promote their business to other members and to the public.

CHBA is the voice of the residential home building industry to the municipal, provincial and federal governments.  By working together, CHBA members increase their political knowledge and clout, exerting a strong, united voice where needed.

CHBA provides the sounding board where ideas, suggestions and problems relating to home building and renovation are tested by technical research and experience.

You save time and money by letting CHBA work for you to address building standards, government regulations, technical problems, training & education, and more.

Representation

Few individual companies can make a difference in the system but by working together our members have a respected and powerful voice at all levels of government. CHBA’s National Office is dedicated to addressing National Building Code and other code and regulatory issues; CHBA’s Provincial Office is dedicated to addressing issues involving WCB, Building Code, Employment Standards, apprenticeship programs, and more; CHBA-Victoria Builders’ Council liaises with local municipalities to address building permits, inspections, taxes, development issues, and housing affordability.

CHBA members have the opportunity to consult with officials at all levels of government on key issues affecting their businesses!
