Strengthening Utah’s communities

What We Do

Education
We support builders through education, resources, & networking. We offer free continuing education for HBA members and a Pre License course for new contractors, with a focus on best practices, affordability, and efficiency.
Advocacy
We advocate for housing policies that protect property rights and keep homes attainable. Because every $1,000 increase in housing costs prevents 1,500 people from qualifying for a home, we closely monitor laws and regulations and speak up when unnecessary mandates limit choice for homeowners and builders.
Standards
We support high building standards that prioritize safety, durability, and long-term value without unnecessary costs. Our goal is balanced standards that protect homeowners while preserving flexibility, innovation, and affordability.
Community
With 25% of housing costs tied to regulation, we work to reduce this burden by promoting thoughtful, sustainable growth. Strong communities begin with homes people can afford and shape to fit their lives.

Our Mission

The Home Builders Association of Utah advances and protects the home building industry through effective advocacy, education, and collaboration. We work to influence legislation and government policies, provide essential training for contractors, and serve as a liaison between local, state, and national associations, ensuring members receive maximum value. Our mission is to empower builders, reduce regulatory barriers, and strengthen communities across Utah
