HBA of Metro Denver

What HBA of Metro Denver does

HBA of Metro Denver (Home Builders Association of Metro Denver) is a private, non-profit professional trade association founded in 1942 and headquartered in Centennial, Colorado. It represents the residential home building industry across eight metro-area counties, serving home builders, developers, remodelers, suppliers, and service providers. HBA Builder Members account for 92% of all local closings in the metro Denver area, making the association the dominant collective voice for the regional residential construction market.

The organization delivers three core service categories: advocacy, networking, and education. Advocacy spans active engagement with municipal governments, the Colorado state legislature, and federal agencies on issues including development impact fees, fire sprinkler mandates, the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code, energy codes, and PUC natural gas decarbonization rules; notable outcomes include the Commerce City fire sprinkler mandate repeal. Networking is delivered through signature events (Denver Parade of Homes, MAME Awards, Builder Product Expo, Housing Summit, Clay Shoot, Industry Night) and a layered ecosystem of four councils and seven committees. Education is provided via HBA University, including CAPS certification, a formal mentoring program, an Emerging Leaders Program, and a webinar video library. The technology footprint is a WordPress website and GrowthZone member portal for directory, events, and jobs; no proprietary technology or AI capabilities are present.

HBA generates revenue primarily through recurring membership dues from builders, developers, remodelers, suppliers, and service providers, supplemented by event fees and corporate sponsorships (including 2026 Organizational Partners such as Pella, ENT Credit Union, Builders FirstSource, and others with category exclusivity at signature events). The organization is member-governed under a Board of Directors led by a rotating Board President (Sara Dieringer for 2026; Jason Brown for 2025) and is affiliated nationally with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and at the state level with the Colorado Association of Home Builders (CAHB). Staff size is 1-10, consistent with a lean association relying on volunteer leadership and committee participation for operational delivery.
