The show attracted a large number of visitors, including builders, contractors, architects, and home buyers. To gain insight into the goals and objectives of the show, Todd spoke with Sarah Foster and here is what she had to say.
Sarah explained the main goals of the show were to bring the community together and encourage interaction with local businesses.
Sarah emphasized the benefits of being a part of the construction industry. The Home Builders Association provides the builders with education and training, as well as referrals from the public. They try to make building from both a builder and consumer side more accessible, making it easier for everyone to participate in the industry.
The association’s referral system sends referrals out to multiple local builders, increasing chances of getting a response.This is just one of the many ways the association supports its members and helps them grow their businesses.
Additionally, the association provides scholarships for the youth entering the trades, helping to address the shortage of people entering the construction industry today. Sarah noted that finding young people interested in construction is challenging, so the association is doing its part to encourage more youth to consider the industry as a career option. If students are interested in pursuing a career in construction, the Home Builders Association offers five $1000 scholarships to those attending college in the U.P. in a construction program.
In conclusion, the Home Builders Association of the Upper Peninsula plays an important role in the community, providing education, training, and referrals for builders while also investing in the future of the industry through scholarships. We thank Sarah Foster for sharing her insights with us and commend the association for their contributions to the community.
