The London Home Builders' Association
The London Home Builders’ Association (LHBA) has come a long way since its founding in 1952. The LHBA and its Provincial and Federal parents – The Ontario Home Builders’ Association and The Canadian Home Builders’ Association, are business organizations comprised of builders, renovators, developers, suppliers, subcontractors and supporting financial institutions and professionals. The LHBA consists of a membership which is increasing and accounts for 88% of all new homes built in this vibrant area. In keeping with the mission statement, to give back to the community, volunteers from over 270 member companies, contributed over 5,000 hours in support of 39 association events.
