Why Join our HBA?

The Home Builders Association of Northern Michigan is made up of members who are contractors and building supply companies, along with businesses aligned to the construction industry. The organization was founded in 1971. We serve the counties of Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Emmet, and Otsego Counties in Lower Northern Michigan. 

 

Here are some good reasons to join:

​
