Amanda Trickett, The Closet Factory - Associate member since February 2004
When we joined the Park City Home Builder’s Association, we were already doing some work with contractors, but we really wanted to do more.
Obviously the ability to network with contractors is a big part of being an associate member. By showing up at meetings, joining committees, and generally getting involved we’ve made some excellent contacts that have helped us to grow our business over the past few years. On both sides, there’s a level of trust involved in doing business with someone you see in a social context once a month that generally makes working with fellow members a very positive experience.
But that’s only part of it. The educational component is also very important. Many subcontractors need to maintain a contractor’s license and being a member of the HBA makes getting the credits easy, and you never know what you might learn. It might be about some fascinating new green building material or it might be the definition of the term “concrete slump”!
And we all know that being a subcontractor can be a lonely business at times. You spend your time, out there in limbo-land between the homeowner and the contractor, hoping one of them is going to pay your bill, stomping around freezing cold, muddy, snowy construction sites, tape measure and clipboard in hand. It can be nice to recognize a friendly face out there and to share our experiences on the various projects we are all working on.
Todd Evans, Blackdog Builders - Builder member since April 2007
The experience that I have had with the PCAHBA has been very rewarding for me. The friendships that I have gained with my fellow contractors and the staff alone has been worth joining.
However, being involved with the Showcase of homes brought my attitude toward the organization to a new level and has exceeded all of my expectations. Opening our home to the masses during the showcase was intimidating at first but turned out to be a positive and rewarding experience. The exposure and response from the community was a great pat on the back personally and has done well for Blackdog Builders.
I am also very thrilled to be involved with Build Green Utah. I believe that this path is our only path to the future in building and am excited to take an active role in learning to become a contractor with a lower impact on our environment and a safer place for our community to live.
Thanks for the camaraderie and the warm welcome to the organization.
