ABOUT THE SFAHBA

2006-10-19T20:09:01-07:00

The Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association (SFAHBA) is a non-profit trade association representing 516 members in the Santa Fe, Taos, Angel Fire, Los Alamos areas and Northern New Mexico. We present a wide array of professionals in addition to Builders and Developers. These construction-related businesses include: architects, landscapers, interior designers, Remodelors, finance companies, as well as construction materials suppliers. Together we contribute to the growth, prosperity and quality of life our “City Different” has come to enjoy.

We participate in a variety of activities through out the year:

The Remodelers Showcase & Expo, formerly know as the Home /Design/ Remodel Show, is a combined event consisting of the Remodelers Showcase, an opportunity to publish our Remodelers Council member’s projects in our Home/Design/Remodel edition of the Haciendas Magazine. Projects are judged and those deemed worthy will receive X-cellence in Remodeling Awards. These awards are presented at the Remodelers Expo in the Spring. The Expo, with more than ninty participating vendors and builders, is an opportunity for the public to see the new trends in home design, improvement and decorating. Non-profit groups are given an opportunity to share their programs with the Santa Fe Community as well. The 2011 Show will be held in the Santa Fe Community Convention Center on May 14th & 15th.

The Haciendas - A Parade of Homes is a promotion for new and remodeled homes that presents innovative design and technology to the buying public. The event coincides with Indian Market, showcasing our industries’ quality craftsmanship, unique designs, neighborhoods and communities.

Getting Reel

2012-01-12T18:26:48-07:00

Artists see truth in a different light and can express ideas that raise the consciousness of those who view their creative works. New Energy Economy’s film series, Getting Reel: Local Solutions to Fossil Fuel Dependency, exposes the hidden truths behind our addiction to fossil fuels and provides ideas for local action to transition from dirty energy to renewables.
