Welcome to the home of the Chatham Kent Home Builders’ Association. Our local organization was chartered in 1959 and has been serving the needs of the residential building community in Chatham Kent ever since.
We were founded so our Members could participate with both the Canadian and Ontario Home Builders Associations. These upper tier organizations provide our members with the educational material and training courses that are necessary for them to provide some of the most technically advanced housing systems in the world. Canada is a world leader in Energy Star and R-2000 housing systems.
We hold regular monthly meetings which feature speakers demonstrating new products, procedures and updates on building code issues and local/provincial regulations
All member Builders and Renovation professionals must be registered with Tarion Home Warranty Program for new construction, be insured for a minimum of $2,000,000.00 in liability and be Registered with WSIB.
Our Affiliation:
The senior body is the Canadian Home Builders Association based in Ottawa, and they are charged with monitoring housing issues, and regulations that are national in scope.
There are over 4000 member builders across Canada.
The next tier is the Ontario Home Builders Association and their main responsibility is similar to the Canadian Association only relative to provincial issues. Plus they take the responsibility for facilitation of training programs in areas of Housing Technology, Job Site Safety and availability of Innovative Construction Products and Construction Techniques.

Here are a few pictures of Chatham Kent's first dual label Green Building System and Energy Star.
Once again a member Builder, Gilles Michaud Construction, leads the way in inovative and cutting edge technology! Over and Over Again, Our members Demonstrate that they are the Best of the Best!
From today's build at the Chatham Kent Safety Village, we had 33 member companies on site at 7:30 AM, consisting of Builders, Tradesmen, retail members and sales reps from our suppliers out assisting with the 4 buildings that were in most cases 80%+ completed by days end.
All were started from a concrete pad. Some of the exterior finishes are yet to be completed by other trades. Building were erected for the EMS Chatham, Knight of Colombus had a small Chapel built, replica of a fire hall for the Chatham Kent Fire Service and a pole barn was built for Pioneer Seed Corn.
These building are all paid for by the individual sponsor and they also produce plans that must meet the guidelines of the Safety Village. The village is utilized as a method of making childern from grade 1 thur 7 aware of Bicycle safety, correct street crossing, Rail Crossing, Internet use, motorized toy safety and many other programs available to Chatham Kent Schools free of charge. Last year thousands of CK school children benifited from these programs.
