Certified Professional Builder

Planning to build or buy a new home in Mississippi...

Welcome to

Certified Professional Builder!

Here you will find a listing of licensed Mississippi builders who have chosen to pursue professionalism through the Certified Professional Builder program. Our builders seek professional development through continuing education and are committed to achieving higher levels of customer satisfaction.

When you choose a builder look for one of the CPB logos. Participants in the Certified Professional Builder program have agreed to meet the following standards, which are well above the requirements for licensing in the State of Mississippi:

	Must be licensed by the Mississippi State Board of Contractors.
	Must have built no less than ten homes.
	Main occupation must be home building or industry-related, subject to approval by the CPB committee.
	Must offer binding arbitration with their new homes.
	Must maintain appropriate insurance coverage including builders risk, general liability, and workers' compensation.
	Must be a member of the local or State of Mississippi Home Builders Association.
	Must apply for recertification annually.
	Must adhere to the National Association of Home Builders Code of Ethics.
	Must attend four hours of continuing education each year for recertification.
	Must adhere to the guidelines adopted by the Mississippi Housing Institute in the Homeowners Handbook to ensure customer satisfaction and the integrity of the Program.
	Letters of reference must accompany the application: two homebuyers, one banker, and two business associates.

The Mississippi Housing Institute uses its best efforts to determine a builder's qualifications for certification as a Certified Professional Builder. While the program recognizes the professionalism of a builder, the Mississippi Housing Institute does not make any warranty or representation, expressed or implied, to homebuyers or others and has not inspected the construction of any home and, therefore, does not and cannot address the specific quality of a new home. The homebuyer is encouraged to discuss the program with his or her Certified Professional Builder and to contact the Mississippi Housing Institute for more specific information about the program.
