OUR HISTORY
BILD – One Association Working at Three Levels to Serve Our Members.
BILD is organized at three levels — locally, provincially and nationally. All three levels of the BILD work together to serve our members by keeping members informed, involved and prepared for today’s business challenges.
LOCALLY
BILD Lethbridge has been advocating for your needs locally since 1982. Through the Board of Directors, Government Relations, Technical Standards, Safety and Human Resources Committees, BILD Lethbridge is aware of what matters to the residential construction industry; acting as the central point for information, advocacy, education and business development among members.
PROVINCIALLY
BILD Alberta works with the provincial government and agencies on a wide range of housing matters such as codes, standards, safety, infrastructure, consumer protection, legislation and more, all of which are driven by local concerns. Provincial conferences and awards programs give members an opportunity to meet and network with peers from across the province.
NATIONALLY
At the national level, CHBA represents and serves the entire membership from coast to coast advocating the interests of the housing industry with the federal government and inter-governmental bodies. Creating alliances with private and public research agencies to promote solutions, innovation and demonstration projects as well as joining forces with national partners on marketing activities to inform consumers and promote professional new home builders and renovators.
