Builder Services Division

Members of Tidewater Builders Association understand the role that government and regulations play in their daily lives. Whether it’s dictating the number of units builders can construct on a piece of property or the type of materials they can use, some level of government impacts everything builders do on a minute-by-minute basis.

TBA, like most successful industry associations, has developed a Political Action Committee to ensure that laws and regulations are reasonable and do not put members out of business. The committee represents the home builders’ voice at the table when such decisions are made by elected and appointed officials.

The Municipal Affiars Committees hold meetings on a needs basis with all local development/building staffs. The Quarterly Member Breakfast Forums are held with speakers on various topics related to the industry.
