JIM CHAPMAN ADDS CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL HOME BUILDER TO ILLUSTRIOUS RESUME

ATLANTA -- Why would a successful, state-licensed home builder, one who has won the Community of the Year Award three times, one who has been recognized as one of the largest private builders in Atlanta, one identified as one of the top 100 most influential people in Atlanta's housing industry by a renowned business publication and one who is slated to be Chairman of the National Association of Home Builders' 50+ Housing Council, feel the need to become a Certified Professional Home Builder? And, exactly what is that designation and what does it mean?

Let us answer the latter to bring context to the former of those questions. As of 2008, all home builders in Georgia had to meet certain basic criteria in order to be licensed by the state. Years prior to that, however, The Housing Institute's Certified Professional Home Builder program (CPHB) was founded to bring a higher standard of professionalism and ultimately higher customer satisfaction to the industry. These self-imposed standards were and are far more rigid than state standards, making for an organization of elite and distinguished professionals of which Jim Chapman is now a member. And, here's the why.

"When one chooses a Certified Professional Home Builder," says Chapman, "much of the due diligence on the builder is already done. Education, experience, references(14 across several related categories),volume, insurance, warranty -- the list goes on-- and every Certified Professional Home Builder must meet the ambitious and important criteria. For me, it was not enough to be successful, it was about being the very best I could be at my craft and in my profession. It is truly the icing on the cake. I encourage anyone who may be considering buying or building a new home to visit certifiedprofessionalhomebuilder.com for the full range of services and distinctions. Choosing the right builder is one of the most important decisions one will make in the entire building process and to that end, an informed customer is a better, happy customer."

Founded to essentially create homeowner satisfaction through reputable, experienced, professional and customer-oriented practices, the CPHB program has been a win-win for the building industry and the home building public.
