Why Choose an RRHBA Member

Qualified Professional Builders
In addition to meeting the criteria above, every builder member of the RRHBA is professionally qualified through completion of the Certified Professional Home Builder Program. Every builder member must also be a member of a third party new home warranty program – which provides protection to the consumer. As a minimum, this generally includes deposit insurance and protection against defects in work and materials as well as major structural defects. Some provinces have found warranty to be so important, that they have mandated all home builders to be a member of a third party new home warranty program.
Home builder members also have access to all kinds of research and information related to home building, and can keep up to date on technological advances, regulations, products and materials, and financing and design. This means that they have the know-how to provide the home buyer with the latest and the best in the market place. Building a new home also takes teamwork and the skill and expertise of many suppliers and trades. Members have access to a network of professionals within the industry.
