The North Carolina Home Builders Association (NCHBA) launched a monthly email newsletter, Cliff’s Notes, in January 2023, authored by Director of Codes and Construction Cliff Isaac. This initiative was designed to provide members with timely updates on residential building code changes, interpretations and legislative developments. The newsletter aims to enhance members’ understanding of evolving codes, thereby streamlining the inspection process and reducing potential delays and costs. Since its inception, Cliff’s Notes has become NCHBA’s most-read email campaign, boasting an impressive nearly 50% open rate. Members have expressed appreciation for the concise and relevant information, which underscores the value of their HBA membership. The newsletter has also elevated Isaac’s role as a trusted resource for building code inquiries, reinforcing NCHBA’s commitment to supporting its members with expert guidance and timely updates.
