Core offering

WCFHBA is a regional nonprofit trade association that sells annual memberships and member benefits to home builders, remodelers, contractors, suppliers, and REALTORS in the Wilmington Cape Fear region. Its core offering is a 3-in-1 membership that combines local advocacy and networking with state (NCHBA) rebate programs and national (NAHB) member savings, delivered through a searchable member directory, professional councils, continuing-education courses for general contractors, and signature annual events such as the Parade of Homes and Wilmington Builder REALTOR Expo.

Product overview

Wilmington-Cape Fear Home Builders Association operates as a professional trade association offering a unified membership platform rather than a single product. The core offerings consist of a member directory (searchable database of 850+ home building industry companies), an event calendar and registration system for association events, and the Toolbox Blog providing industry education. Supporting services include professional councils (PWB, Sales & Marketing), member benefit programs (NAHB savings, NCHBA rebates), continuing education for contractors, and signature annual events including the Parade of Homes, Wilmington Builder REALTOR Expo, PWB Anniversary Party, and Sandcastles for Scholarships competition. The association is chartered in 1965 and represents over 1,800 members from 850+ companies, serving the Wilmington Cape Fear region.
