WHY BELONG?

For 70 years, Waterloo Region Home Builders’ Association has been a strong advocate for the home building industry and is recognized as the voice of the residential land development, home building and professional renovation industry in Waterloo Region since 1946.

Three Tiered Membership

Membership in Waterloo Region Home Builders’ Association is a mark of distinction which identifies the company as an industry professional.  WRHBA represents over 210 member representatives comprised of the residential construction industry.  With membership in our local association, members also benefit from membership in the Ontario Home Builders’ Association (OHBA) and the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA).

Together our voice at the municipal, provincial, and federal level is very strong.  Representatives at all three levels of the association interact regularly with elected officials and bureaucrats ensuring that when decisions are made, those making them are informed.

The ABC’s of Joining WRHBA

Advocacy
WRHBA actively participates through a number of municipal liaison committees organized to represent the interests of the Association related to building and development issues within our region.  WRHBA also coordinates its advocacy efforts with CHBA, OHBA and other Home Builders’ Associations. Monthly reports are provided to members through a newsletter entitled “Advocacy in Action”.

Branding
Across our region, consumers, business people and elected officials recognize WRHBA’s logo as the sign of professionals. Members let people know that their company has the knowledge, experience, and commitment it takes to succeed in this industry. Members are encouraged to use WRHBA’s logo in marketing materials as a sign of their commitment and professionalism.
