I was very involved in GHBA activities 30 years ago. The GHBA was an outstanding industry resource then. I returned to Houston and homebuilding 4 years ago. From my perspective, the GHBA’s diversity, effectiveness and influence have grown significantly. We should consider ourselves quite fortunate to have access to the quality resources the GHBA makes available to us all.

The new format makes those speed selling events a lot more fun! I’ve already marked my calendar for the next one!

The GHBA has done so much to improve me as a building professional and equip me to grow my company. The staff and members take a genuine interest in helping each other succeed and grow. I count many of these folks as friends and mentors.

My active participation in the GHBA has been one of the single largest contributors in my professional development. I feel a great debt to the Association for the things I have learned, the colleagues I have met, and the results in legislation for which we have worked on together.

GHBA is the best! Really appreciate the educational classes and seminars you provide.

I would like to express how beneficial [the Top Golf speed selling] was for my team. We met some very professional and knowledgeable representatives yesterday. Thank you for hosting this impactful event.

We strive to provide an outstanding, quality built home that provides lasting value for our homeowners. That’s why we are members of the GHBA and build energy efficient homes certified by Green Built Gulf Coast.

Good to be back with GHBA. Had a great Custom Builder meeting today. It was very informative and met some new and old friends.

I can say the CBC Speed Selling event is the most effective activity GHBA has created to make the best use of all participants’ time and to enjoy the process. I was introduced to subs and suppliers I did not know existed, found out information to help my clients, and started the development of important relationships that will make my service to my clients better and in a very short time. It would have taken weeks if not months to set up those meetings and… Read more “”

Love, love, love the classes. GHBA has had a couple more Marketing type classes this year which is wonderful. Our businesses aren’t just about building homes, we have to market them first to sell them! Keep up the good work!!

Earning designations has virtually revolutionized my business. Not only has it increased my confidence in the marketplace, but it has set me and my company apart from the vast sea of contractors out there. Possessing these attributes has led us more consistently to our ideal clientele. Having designations labels me as someone who has chosen to excel as a remodeler.

I have enjoyed being part of HOME-PAC as it has allowed me access to our Congressmen and City Council members to discuss things that are important to my homebuilding business. I gain a lot of insight into the thoughts and opinions of our elected officials; that can be a lot different than what you read in the paper.

The GHBA has always striven to increase the knowledge and professionalism of its members, by offering educational series, mentoring and best practices. Combined, this training hones the skills necessary for members to build and improve the quality and overall value of the products offered to Houston’s homeowners.

The CBC Speed Selling event at Bowlmor Lanes was great! I think everyone there had a great time. Combining bowling and talking about business made it more casual and laid back. It created an opportunity for both builders and subcontractors/suppliers to get in touch with each other, that otherwise may not have had the chance.

We love using the GHBA/TAB builder contracts, and they have saved us on so many instances! We have been in this business for 30 years and these contracts sum up every incident we have ever experienced. We sleep better at night knowing that everything is spelled out. We have had no negative feedback from any of our clients either (we typically build all spec homes). I know they appreciate the contract as well. The contacts are priceless! Thank you for all you and GHBA do… Read more “Sleep better at night w/ GHBA Contracts”

Having been a GHBA member since 1988, I have benefited greatly from the close associations I have made with other industry members and trade partners. It is been my privilege to serve as GHBA president as well as see my son Kevin serve the association as its first second-generation president. Get involved, stay involved.

When we selected the Green Built Gulf Coast Program for construction techniques and energy efficiency guidelines, we did so with the knowledge that this program (unlike other known national programs) was specifically designed to address particular issues that are unique to our Gulf Coast climate. Participating in a program like Green Built Gulf Coast keeps us at the forefront of ongoing industry improvements designed for the benefit of our homeowners and their long term satisfaction with the quality, energy efficiency and reduced operating costs associated… Read more “”

Receiving the first ever GHBA Young Professional of the Year award is the proudest professional moment of my life. I always do my best to work towards results instead of recognition, but I must say that the recognition feels amazing. After receiving the award, I had several members come by to congratulate me, some of whom I just wanted to know my name several years ago. If it weren’t for the GHBA, I wouldn’t know these people, I wouldn’t be as involved in industry legislation,… Read more “”
