Become a VRBA member
The Victoria Residential Builders Association is one of the most respected and progressive industry associations in Canada. We are the professional voice for builders, renovators, designers, trades and suppliers with members from Vancouver Island, Vancouver, and BC’s interior.
Building A new home OR RENOVATION?
The best way to achieve competitive pricing is to use our online Expression of Interest Form which is distributed to VRBA’s contractors. You will be contacted directly to discuss the project and costs without obligation.
Care Awards
The CARE Awards showcase Canada’s leaders in sustainable West Coast design and construction. They are judged by a panel of industry professionals using criteria such as architectural design, quality workmanship, creative use of space, and energy efficiency.
Why Hire a Member?
VRBA is the largest residential builders association on Vancouver Island with 180+ home builders, renovators, designers, trades and suppliers. Your builder should have a professional contract, strong track record, as well as warranty and liability coverage.
The Victoria Residential Builders Association is an inclusive, independent, non-profit incorporated in 1940 – one of the most respected and progressive industry associations in Canada. We promote education, professionalism, consumer awareness and housing affordability.
Our association has been at the forefront of advocating mandatory education and training for builders of new homes in BC, which has been achieved, and we continue to promote a national renovation tax credit to address the costs of asbestos mitigation, seismic safety and retrofits for energy efficiency. Mandatory education and training in BC for renovations is also necessary for professionalism and consumer protection.
