HOME BUILDERS & REMODELERS ASSOCIATION OF CONNECTICUT, INC. 3 Regency Drive, Suite 204, Bloomfield, CT 06002 Tel: 860-216-5858 Fax: 860-206-8954 Web: www.hbact.org 2016 HOUSE OF THE YEAR The HBRA of CT’s 2016 House of the Year is a project that benefits both the industry we serve and the association’s advocacy efforts. Owned by the HBRA of CT and built by Sunlight Construction, Inc. under a construction management agreement with the HBRA of CT, the 2016 House of the Year will be a 3,600 sq.ft. home in an existing community of completed homes in Avon, CT. The HBRA’s home is being built under the new 2016 State Building Code, effective 10-1-16, even though the permit issuance would allow construction under the prior code. The association will hold one or more events at the site to demonstrate to HBRA members how to comply with the new code, serving our important mission to inform and educate members. The home will be marketed for sale from the onset of construction and will be listed on the MLS at $819,900. Upon the closing of the sale, the net proceeds will also benefit the advocacy mission of the HBRA of CT, with half of the net proceeds to be dedicated to the association’s Housing Defense Fund (HDF) (see more info on the HDF at: http://www.hbact.org/HDF). The HBRA of CT’s House of the year program is a win-win-win for all involved, the association, the builder and the many subcontractors and vendors who participate in the project. While we are not soliciting discounts or contributions to the project, many have already done so and the association will appropriately recognize all participants. Thank you to all!
