NAHB serves the entire home building, development and remodeling industry. To become a member of NAHB, you must join the local home builders association (HBA) serving your area.
About one-third of NAHB’s members are home builders, multifamily developers, and/or remodelers, while the remaining two-thirds work in closely related fields such as mortgage financing and building products.
NAHB offers dozens of in-person and online educational courses and seminars — both live and on-demand — specially tailored for building professionals. All young building professionals should explore NAHB Education.
