The BCHBA is a non-profit, professional membership organization comprised of over 300 members representing the building industry in southeastern North Carolina.
As a local builder and current President of the Brunswick County Home Builders Association I am proud to welcome you to the organization’s 18th Parade of Homes. The Parade of Homes has become a tradition in the Brunswick County communities, and has grown every year since the first event in 2003. This program has proven to be of benefit to the local economy. Construction and real estate businesses, as well as the hospitality industry, have shared benefits from this event. Additionally, through meeting local builders and viewing available properties, many have found themselves no longer visitors, but residents of one of the fastest growing counties in the southeast. We, as a nation, have held fast through many challenges in 2020 and the local building community has had its share as well. The construction industry was designated as “essential” and the jobs provided due to a strong housing market kept many at work during national shutdowns. Our local building community, and membership, held to course through the swells of a national pandemic, and produced the finished products showcased in this year’s event.
With the final brushstrokes having been made and the driveways poured and ready, our organization was forced to deliberate the fate of the 2020 Parade of Homes due to the lingering virus. The decision to move forward came with ease, but we as a board realized it was in the best interest of all concerned that restrictions must be implemented. As you view the catalogue of entries you will notice various levels of permitted access and restrictions. But looking at the brighter side, a newly implemented addition to the program this year will be virtual tours of the properties. These tours will enable guests to enjoy visiting our homes from the comfort of “anywhere”, and allow the homes to be viewed long after the event is over. The opportunity will be available via the internet to review and share ideas as never before. The BCHBA is sincerely appreciative of the contributions and support of our membership, committees, local vendors, subcontractors, and others who choose to support this program. I would encourage you to take advantage of the new virtual tools available this year, and do not hesitate to contact the builders with questions about their homes.
—Robert Norton, President, Brunswick County HBA
