JOIN CBIA

“No one knows the building code or the regulatory environment better than CBIA. They consistently work with regulators, draw a line in the sand when needed, and are constantly advocating for our interests. There’s no one else we would trust to represent our industry with the State of California.” 

JOHN NORMAN Vice President Brookfield Residential

“It can be difficult to find policy advocates that really understand the complexities and stark realities of managing projects in real time. This is what makes CBIA a true ally – they understand how important predictability is to the market and how seemingly small changes in costs can jeopardize whether a project is greenlit. That’s why their advocacy is so valuable to us.” 

MIKE BALSAMO Senior Vice President Governmental Relations Rancho Mission Viejo 

“The homebuilding and new construction industries need a united voice, and CBIA is well-equipped to fill that role. With so many legislative and regulatory actions that could easily spike the cost of housing, CBIA has proven itself to be a dynamic and valuable asset to push back against those proposals that stand in the way of strengthening the housing sector.” 

JEFFREY C. SCHROEDER Senior Vice President Land Acquisition & Planning Ponderosa Homes II, Inc. 

“California can often be the canary in the coal mine. Policies in California often take hold in other states across the country – regardless of whether the policies are generally good for the economy or the housing market. CBIA is all too aware of California’s role, and works to keep homeownership a reality for all.” 

JIM BOYD Regional President Toll Brothers 

“Put bluntly, CBIA delivers. In the past few years, CBIA has decreased potential residential energy standards compliance costs by 70%, helped defeat onerous inclusionary housing requirements, and enforced sensible limits on CEQA analysis on building projects. These are huge wins for our industry and we have CBIA to thank for them.” 

RAY PANEK Senior Vice President KB Home Bay Area

Between running a business and delivering for my clients, I need a team in Sacramento that is able to stay on top of the endless regulatory and legislative proposals – many of which can have a huge impact on my company. With CBIA, I know my business is being protected so that I can keep focusing on providing jobs for my employees, keeping my clients satisfied, and growing my company.” 

HARRY C. ELLIOTT, III President Elliott Homes, Inc. 

“The staff at CBIA knows exactly what is needed to keep our industry moving forward. Knowing that over regulation and ill-conceived public policy can wreak havoc on the housing market’s recovery; this team never takes their eyes off the ball and fights hard to keep housing affordable in California.”
