Hear It From Builders Like You
“Before joining, I was invisible to homeowners. Now I get referral calls from CHBA-VI every month. It paid for itself before I even got to my first dinner meeting.”
Member since 2018
“I was skeptical about another association fee. But the group insurance savings alone cut $4,200 off my annual overhead. The networking is a bonus on top of that.”
Member since 2020
“Winning a VIBE Award changed my business overnight. I went from quoting against lowballers to being the first call for high-end renovations on the island.”
Member since 2016
