Now is the time to join the Victoria Residential Builders Association during our annual membership renewal.
Our daily mission is to be effective, efficient and affordable for our members.
We are the builders’ leading voice for housing affordability, consumer protection, education and professionalism.
VRBA provides:
- Housing’s premier awards – Annual CARE Awards at careawards.ca;
- New home and renovation projects sent directly to VRBA builders;
- Free education webinars offering CPD credits required for builder licensing;
- Comprehensive VRBA/ICBA benefits program;
- 15% discount on courses from the Professional Home Builders Institute
- Free construction contracts for VRBA builders;
- Networking meetings including our Annual Crystal Ball Housing Forecast;
- Leading advocacy and support.
We represent builders and homebuyers trying to achieve affordability in a market challenged by rising fees and regulations.
Through media coverage, weekly TC columns and social media posts, VRBA raises the public’s understanding of issues obstructing housing supply and affordability.
This has led government to improve rezoning for small multi-family developments.
In addition, VRBA gives back through fundraisers including the BC Children’s Hospital, Habitat for Humanity, Threshold Housing Society, CFAX Santa’s Anonymous and TC Christmas Fund.
Our membership fees are among the most competitive in the industry and our value is unmatched.
If you are considering membership in an industry association, contact us at vrba.ca.
We would be pleased to discuss the advantages.
