About Us: Building More Than Homes

For nearly 70 years, the Central Washington Home Builders Association (CWHBA) has done more than build homes—we’ve built communities. Through collaboration, innovation, and connection, we create events that bring people together, foster relationships, and drive meaningful impact.

At CWHBA, every detail matters, and every interaction counts. We champion professionalism, integrity, and community impact, values that guide our events and our team.
