Here’s what our members say:
Being a part of this association the past 4 years has brought me so much more than I ever imagined. Strong, successful, caring, dedicated, professional… there are many adjectives that describe the people that make up the Greater Houston Builders Association.
Analisa M. Pratt, CKD The Detering Co
GHBA is a very valuable asset to our Industry. You can get as much value out of it as you like. The more active you are as a member the more successful you will be at your job and your company. I have personally witnessed and experienced this in the last 27 years!
Greg N Tomlinson Builders Post-Tension
GHBA is one of the best ways to network and make new friends and customers.
Edward Neumann Goodman
GHBA is the “go to” for Residential Construction information in the Greater Houston area. The Education Focus is a tremendous asset to the community of builders and remodelers. The generosity of homebuilders and remodelers is legendary through the Benefit Homes Project and HomeAid Houston. No other Builders Association in the Nation can compete with this organization, it’s leadership and staff.
Max Hoyt ACES Builders Warranty, Inc.
Great people in the association, combined with consistent networking, equals great opportunities!!!

Sandra Crook Greymark Construction Co.
Having been a GHBA member since 1988 I have benefited greatly from the close associations I have made with other industry members and trade partners. It is been my privilege to serve as GHBA president as well as see my son Kevin serve the association as its first second-generation president.

I thoroughly enjoy all things GHBA!
Parke Patterson Parke Patterson Land Development
I was very involved in GHBA activities 30 years ago. The GHBA was an outstanding industry resource then. I returned to Houston and homebuilding 4 years ago. From my perspective, the GHBA’s diversity, effectiveness and influence have grown significantly. We should consider ourselves quite fortunate to have access to the quality resources the GHBA makes available to us all.
Kevin Stuckey Stuckey Builders, LLC
I’ve been a member of GHBA for many years and attribute much of my success to the great builders and vendors that I’ve worked with over the years. Thanks GHBA!
Cindy Aplanalp Yates Chairma Design Group
The GHBA has been a great resource for more than just our marketing department. They have provided us with the opportunity to easily get to know a great network of people that represent some of the best businesses in our area.

The GHBA has done so much to improve me as a building professional and equip me to grow my company. The staff and members take a genuine interest in helping each other succeed and grow. I count many of these folks as friends and mentors.
Kevin Vick Vick Construction & Remodeling Inc.
The GHBA is a wonderful organization and I’m proud to be a member. There are so many ways to be involved both on a professional and personal level. Numerous volunteer activities gives everyone the opportunity to give back to the community in which they earn their living.
Maria Frank Cabinets & Designs
The GHBA is an important part of my career in the new home building industry. I have met so many wonderful professionals and have enjoyed forming some amazing friendships over the last 12 years of being a member. Serving on the SMC board has been very rewarding and it is an honor to give back to my industry as a passionate volunteer. Happy 75th anniversary to my second family at the GHBA and may you have many more!
Laurie Wilson First American Title-Homebuilder Division
I would like to personally thank you for one of the most informative and enjoyable luncheons I have attended. I really appreciated the remarks Dr. Mark Dotzour had to share.
Bob Hudson
We recognize the invaluable service GHBA provides to all members in the way of education and advocacy, as well as the opportunity to build lifelong relationships. We only wish we had joined sooner, and strongly recommend that any company serious about the homebuilding industry do so as soon as possible.
Michael Raney Surface Systems of Texas
My active participation in the GHBA has been one of the single largest contributors in my professional development. I feel a great debt to the Association for the things I have learned, the colleagues I have met, and the results in legislation for which we have worked on together.
John Williams Manager Quality Assurance, K. Hovnanian Family of Builders - Houston
We love using the GHBA/TAB builder contracts, and they have saved us on so many instances! We have been in this business for 30 years and these contracts sum up every incident we have ever experienced. We sleep better at night knowing that everything is spelled out. We have had no negative feedback from any of our clients either (we typically build all spec homes). I know they appreciate the contract as well.
The best part is that whenever I have a question, I contact Ian Faria (Bradley Law Firm) and he gets back to immediately. He has expert advice and hasn’t charged me a penny for the advice he’s given. Ian and the contacts are priceless! Thank you for all you and GHBA do for us!
Tami Denault Gregory Homes Inc.
GHBA has been instrumental in solidifying quality, long last business relationships. Great foundations have been acquired through the exceptional events and opportunities provided by the long standing GHBA!
Crystal Gregg Janus AMC
There is not enough space to write down all of the ways that GHBA has been a benefit to myself and Eyesite Surveillance Inc. We have been members for nearly two years, and have been given opportunities that would not have existed without our involvement with the association.
This association allows us to network with the decision makers for the company they represent. This association also allows us to give back to the industry that we are so passionate about through multiple events hosted by individual committees. Lastly, we are able to be a part of a united front with decisions that affect our industry. I cannot thank the GHBA members and staff enough for all that they do.Nancy Cagle Sales & Marketing for Eyesite Surveillance
Our involvement with the association has been very rewarding and beneficial. Not only do we have the opportunity to network with builder representatives and decision makers, but there are multiple opportunities to attend luncheons and other functions to hear experts talk about every aspect of the industry. We also have the opportunity to participate in volunteer organizations such as HomeAid, Habitat for Humanity, Hope Beyond Bridges, Toys for Tots, and our favorite, the Frank Aranza “Adopt-a-Family” Project. The look on the children’s and parents’ faces when the gifts are passed out is priceless. If your company has any connection with the home building or remodeling business, I would highly recommend being a member of the GHBA.
