Renovators and Custom Homebuilders Council (RCHC)

The Renovators and Custom Homebuilders Council represents the residential construction industry and works to promote professionalism through education, discussion groups and marketing events.

Meetings are held monthly on the first Tuesday of each month, except for July, August and December unless determined otherwise by the Chair. The council members meet in person from 5:30PM – 7:30PM.

Council meetings have a HAVAN representative in attendance, providing membership, marketing, and calendar updates.  Followed by an education-based presentation from industry experts, supply chain influencer and government relation update, followed by a Q&A time.

A collaborative Roundtable discussion takes place immediately following the Council meetings. Renovator and Builder owners share ideas, tips, advice, and challenges as it relates to owning and operating your construction business.
