Member Benefits

"I’m an HBA member for many reasons, but the biggest reason is to support the overall strength of our construction industry.
Banding together to promote a healthy housing industry for generations is so important. I’m also a member because it
allows me to stay current on our industry…building trends, concerns, business ideas, etc. all help me
connect with new customers as well as improve my credibility with existing customers."

"Troxel Custom Homes has been an active member of the Lakeshore HBA for decades.  The opportunities for continuing education are super valuable, and saving money when we buy our trucks due to HBA discounts is great too. We have been able to have great conversations with other people in our industry that we might otherwise never meet (locally, in the state, and nationally), and the social events put on by the HBA are a great way to unwind as well. 

The cost of being a member is more than worth it - and the more you get involved the more valuable being a member
of the Lakeshore HBA becomes!"

“ We view our membership as an additional reason to choose our company for a project.  We have become our clients' connection to other members within the HBA, and recommend our HBA brothers and sisters before anyone else.   

We have also benefited internally from the years of experience that our board and members bring to the table.  There have been multiple conversations with other owners that have aided in our growth and helped us to avoid potential disasters.  There is a genuine comradery and desire to see every member succeed. 

The other team members of our company have enjoyed the outings and networking opportunities made available to them thru our connection with the Lakeshore HBA.  We consider our membership as another form of benefit (much like retirement, health, etc.) to our team members, and we use it as a tool for employee retention.  From Golf, to clay shoots, to axe throwing, there is always an event for our team to be a part of, and it helps to build our comradery internally.”

“Let’s face it, business is hard... so why do it alone? Being a member at the HBA allows you to connect with
like-minded individuals and companies that are at different stages which can allow for some awesome feedback
on things you might be struggling with or need some guidance on.”

"Landscape Design Services has been a proud member of the Lakeshore HBA for many years.  We appreciate the advocacy of the HBA and voice that it brings for the construction industry.  Although our trade like many members is specialized, we feel that the entire Association is impacted by many of the same issues.  A healthy construction community raises all ships."
