Who -
The Alleghany County Home Builders Association
is a trade association consisting of single and
multi-family builders, developers, remodelors,
suppliers and other allied professionals to the
residential construction industry.
How -
The ACHBA is made up of members who are
geographically located both in Alleghany and the
surrounding counties.
Upon joining the ACHBA, membership is
automatically accorded to the North Carolina
Home Builders Association as well as the
National Association of Home Builders in
Washington, DC.
The annual membership dues of $310 (for builder
and associate members--$85 for affiliate
members) pay for all three memberships.
What -
Three types of membership are available. Builder
Members are involved in residential, commercial
and industrial construction or remodeling and
have to have a valid North Carolina Contractor's
License.
Associate Members provide supplies or a service
to builder members such as architects, building
materials suppliers, insurance agencies,
attorneys, electricians, bankers, engineers,
etc.
Affiliate Members (only $85 per year) are
from organizations that already have a Builder
or Associate Member in the ACHBA. Affiliate
memberships allow one company (like realty firms
or banks) to have multiple members in the ACHBA
at a reduced cost.
Why -
We live in a world of increasing
regulations and new "fees". Our industry is
increasingly seen, incorrectly, as a cashcow for
local governments. As Abraham Lincoln rightly
said, ""A house divided against itself cannot
stand". If we are united as an industry, we have
a much better chance to protect our common
interests.
Other benefits are numerous. Better rates on
insurance, networking and educational
opportunities, and the pride that comes from
being a member of an organization which helps
provide part of the American Dream: home
ownership.

time and money to the business or industry in
which he is engaged.
No man has the moral right to withhold his
support from an organization that is striving to
improve conditions within his sphere."
