OUR HISTORY

WE HBA was formed in 1942, three years before the end of World War II. However it really came into prominence at the conclusion of the conflict.

After World War II, new home growth in the Hamilton-Halton region exploded as many families settled in the area.

The Post World War II baby boom also contributed to the rising number of new houses being built in Hamilton.

This incredible increase in new home construction facilitated the need for a professional association that would establish high standards for new home building while looking to promote and advance the industry in the eyes of local citizens, businesses and governments.
