Regulatory Compliance

The Home Builders Association of Greater Springfield represents the highest professional standard in the residential construction and remodeling industries. Through the HBA, industry professionals can earn a variety of National Association of Home Builders Professional Designations. Thanks to generous scholarship support from the HBA Charitable Foundation, and the support of HBA Professional Designations partner Herrman Lumber, the HBA of Greater Springfield scheduled a full local courseload for completion of the CGB, CGR, CGA, CGP, and CAPS designations in 2012.  If you would like to take a designation course in 2013 please contact Kay at 417.881.3711.   Other selected courses or specialties also are available that have direct and immediate positive impact for members and their customers. Whatever your approach, raising the education bar gives HBA members an edge on their competition and gives the ability to satisfy customers like never before!
