Dues & Info:

Builder/Developer: $495.00 per year
Associate: $395.00 per year
Affiliate: $250.00 per year

Builder members are individuals having a residential or commercial building license from the Louisiana State Licensing Board for contractors. If you have a license, you must apply as a builder member. Developers are also considered builder members even though they may not have a license.

Associate members are those in fields which support the building industry such as painters, electricians, real estate agents, mortgage lenders, etc. If someone in a company already has an AHBA membership, another employee of the same company may join as an Affiliate member and will receive all of the same benefits as Associate members.

Annual dues include membership in the Acadian Home Builders Association (AHBA), the Louisiana Home Builders Association (LHBA), and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) plus a voluntary contribution of $10 each to the local and state Political Action Committees.

Home for the Holidays 2010 Underway

Construction has begun on the 2010 Home for the Holidays project. Each year, the Acadian Home Builders Association builds a high-end dream home and raffles it off for charity. Now in its sixth year, the project has donated $625,000 to local Acadiana non-profit shelter organizations. Benefitting charities include Lafayette Habitat for Humanity, Faith House, Acadiana Youth Inc., and St. Michael Center for Veterans.

AHBA needs your help! A project of this size would not be possible without the participation of many local companies. If you are interested in donating labor or materials to the 2010 Home for the Holidays, contact the AHBA office at (337) 981-3053.
