HBAECI's Quality Assurance Builder Standards Program

“The consumer's best measuring tool for new construction and remodeling!”

WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU THE CONSUMER

The Illinois Quality Assurance Builder Standards provide new home buyers and remodeling customers a way to measure their builder and the project against an industry approved set of standards. These standards have been developed as a service to new home consumers and remodeling customers. These standards create a series of performance standards that builders and customers can use to communicate and understand each other's expectations regarding building/remodeling projects. And it does it in easy-to-understand layman's terms. The standards address the most prevalent issues that arise between the builder and the customer before the project, during the project, and most importantly, after the project is completed. All too often it is the unrealized or undiscovered expectations that create the majority of the problems encountered in the building/remodeling process. The standards will help eliminate these problems before the project even begins. These standards are contained in a book, the “Builder Standards Manual,” and were written specifically for Illinois consumers by representatives of the residential building/remodeling industry. Ask your builder or remodeler if he or she is a member of HBAECI. Only a member of the Association will be able to provide you with the Illinois Quality Assurance Builder Standards Manual. Call 217-239-HOME for a list of Builder Members. The HBA Builder/Remodeler member, not the Homebuilder's Association East Central Illinois, is responsible for adhering to the standards included as part of the construction and/or sales contract.
