Training program aims
to improve professionalism

LOOKING TO the future,
B.C.’s housing construction
industry is placing increased
emphasis on_ professional
and academic training
among builders.

With rising consumer ex-
pectations, complex building
Tegulations and increased
technology, the builder must
now be a knowledgable and
skilled professional. At the
same time, because the
business of building homes is
competitive and diverse,
builders must not only be
good at construction, they
must also be experts in such

fieids as business, advertis-
ing, public relations and
technology.

4S @ result, a new image
of professionalism among
builders has emerged and
this has been in due, in large
part, to the efforts of the
Canadian Home Builders’
Association of B.C.
(CHBA-BC) and their Cer-
tified Professional Builders
Program.

Initiated in 1989, for the
first time in Canada, the
Certified Professional
Builder (CPB) designation
means that a duilding com-

pany employs at least orie
graduate of the CPB Train-
ing Program. As a graduate,
an individual hes shown at
least five years experience in
the residential construction
industry, including at least
three years of direct
“hands-on” experience.

He must have at least two
years practical experience in
the employ of a recognized
residential contractor or as a
sole proprietor and he must
have successfully completed
the educational requirernents
