A MESSAGE FROM
HOLLY SCHROEDER
Building Green in Southern California
At our recent March on Sacramento, CBIA unveiled a valuable resource in the form of a new study by ConSol Energy Consultants. This study paid particular attention to the environmental impact of new housing versus existing housing – and the findings were quite insightful.
During the construction process, homebuilders also recycle more than 50 percent of construction and demolition waste.
The Building Industry Association / Los Angeles Ventura Chapter (BIA/LAV) is comprised of approximately 650 companies involved in every aspect of building homes and creating thriving communities for a growing and diverse population.
BIA/LAV exists to provide leadership on public policy issues that promote building quality communities for the region’s growing population, to increase the public appreciation of the importance of housing and those who provide it, and to facilitate improved business opportunities for its members.
At the forefront of the housing issues facing Los Angeles and Ventura counties, BIA/LAV is committed to increasing homeownership opportunities for the current and future residents of our region. To reach this goal, BIA/LAV works alongside elected officials, community leaders and organizations to come up with credible solutions to the housing crisis. In a region plagued by chronic underproduction of housing for its burgeoning population, the BIA/LAV advocates for policies that will reduce regulations, fees and government bureaucracy.
BIA/LAV acts as the industry voice in local government on issues that affect its member companies. BIA/LAV and its members are dedicated to meeting the demand by creating communities that families are proud to call home.
