HBA Membership Empowers Builders & Remodelers

The Build Show Podcast

Every builder should explore the benefits of joining the local Home Building Association (HBA). Matt sits down with Taylor Jackson, CEO of HBA Greater Austin; they highlight how HBA membership supports builders and remodelers through networking, advocacy, and educational opportunities.

Membership provides valuable connections at local, state, and national levels. These include access to standardized contracts and exclusive industry events, like monthly builder councils and training certifications in green building and aging-in-place. The HBA also offers critical support in government relations, advocating for policies that help builders. Notably, the HOME Initiative in Austin has enabled more affordable housing by reducing lot size requirements.

Members also benefit from workforce development initiatives, partnering with schools to train the next generation of builders.

Matt strongly recommends HBA membership as an affordable way to gain expertise, make lasting industry connections, and enhance professional credibility. Whether you’re a builder, remodeler, or allied professional, joining the HBA offers invaluable resources to stay competitive in today’s housing market.
