Houston, Texas is among the largest housing markets in the entire U.S. There were 34,000 new homes built in the Houston Metro area over the last 12 months ending in September 2020, which generated nearly $9.5 Billion into the local economy and created or supported 113,664 jobs.

In essence, every group that may be related to the construction, sale, or remodelling of homes. Since that time, GHBA has grown to include approximately 1600 member companies, involved in the development, homebuilding, and remodeling industry in Harris, Montgomery, Fort Bend, Brazoria, Waller, Liberty, AT A GLANCE GREATER HOUSTON BUILDERS ASSOCIATION (GHBA) WHAT: The voice of Houston’s residential construction and remodeling industry WHERE: Houston, Texas WEBSITE: www.ghba.org GREATER HOUSTON BUILDERS ASSOCIATION (GHBA) Building a better Houston
