On occasion builders and remodelers have difficulty navigating the permit or licensing process. BIA will do its best to assist and ensure its members are the first to know of any changes related to industry regulations.
BIA works hard reminding everyone that housing is the backbone of the economy, and that its builders members are accountable to stand behind their homes with a limited warranty for one year.
The BIA also functions on accountability, and a push for positive public awareness, to ensure BIA members represent the best of the industry.
The Association provides a variety of contracts for use solely by BIA builders and remodelers. BIA also provides copies of the Limited Warranty booklet, which builders and remodelers are required to provide to their customers for a nominal fee.
