COMMITTEES

They Bryan College Station Home Builders Association [BCSHBA] was chartered on August 20, 1967.

Membership in the BCSHBA dba Greater Brazos Valley Builders Association has grown to over 300 members. There are three membership categories, Builder/Remodeler/Developer and Associate [products and/or services]. For individuals within a current member's company, an Affiliate membership allows that person to be eligible for TAB & NAHB benefits [a $100 fee applies]. GBVBA formed an official Remodeler's Council in 2015. This group's mission is to educate consumers and promote professionalism in the remodeling industry. Additional annual dues to become a member of this group apply.

With the payment of yearly dues, you become a member of one of the largest trade associations in the nation -- The National Association of Home Builders [NAHB]. You also become a member of the Texas Association of Builders [TAB]. Both organizations work for you in the political arena to ward off harmful legislation.

Your local association [GBVBA] is on top of local issues that may affect you as well as lending a hand to local causes.
