When you joined the Olympia Master Builders, you also automatically became a member of your state association and of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). So make the most of your membership – get connected to NAHB.

1 (800) 368-5242 ext. 0 is the most important telephone number to have at your fingertips. This is your immediate access to experts on topics ranging from environmental issues and economic policy to safety and zoning. You can learn more about the publications from BuilderBooks, new industry products and services, and targeted industry trade shows. Memorize this number; it'll open whole new worlds to you!

Get free legal advice on such issues as builder liability, contracts, zoning, impact fees, and the environment. NAHB's legal staff does not replace your personal attorney, but they will research your legal issue and provide you with a written summary of any related federal or state laws, citation to legal case precedents from courts throughout the country, as well as a wealth of other background information.

NAHB is the place to go for "hands on" help for your bottom line. Get vital up-to-date information on business management, ranging from accounting information and management systems to education. If you’re committed to long-term excellence for your company, join a Builder 20 or Remodelor 20 Club and find out how your financial books compare with similar businesses in non-competing markets.

Take advantage of the knowledge of NAHB's economists on topics including production finance, forecasting, local economic impact of home building, state and local housing data, interest and mortgage rates, and single and multifamily finance. Access the latest NAHB economic publications to understand current and future trends and adjust your business accordingly.

As a builder, it's nearly impossible to keep up on every construction code and standard change that occurs, and that's where NAHB comes in. Call to get the most updated information, have local codes reviewed, and find out what you can do to affect a change in your community.

Running into roadblocks in your area because of wetlands issues, no growth initiatives, sewer and water regulations, or tree preservation requirements? Find out how to cope with these challenges, learn how to work within the system, or how to change the perception of the communities where you do the majority of your business.

Do you have a safety program in place on your job site? Have you kept up with all the regulations related to safety for your employees and subs? Get the support and information that is essential to making a job run safely and smoothly.

Through your membership, you have access to critical news, information, education, and a myriad of programs and services. NAHB's Web site, www.nahb.org, is your one-stop source for information on industry news and issues, products and services, education, and much more. Members can log in to enhanced members-only sections of the site for even more news and resources. National Housing Resource Center, BuilderBooks, Industry Publications, NAHB Research Center, are a few of the resources available to you.

Take advantage of affordable, year-round training and education.
