We have lots of advertising opportunities exclusively for BANCF Members. And, we have educational seminars on just about every topic.

Will I get more business if I join?

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to grow your business. Your fellow BANCF members are a built-in source of leads. Members get together monthly for lunch, there are social events such as golf and fishing outings, and hundreds of committee meetings held throughout the year, all chances to make new business contacts. And, the variety of advertising options exclusively for members lets you target your audience.

How much does it cost?

Dues fees range from $605 to $1530. ($605: 0-9 homes/lots, under $2 million/year; $730: 10-24 homes/lots, $2 million to $5 million/year; $1030:
25-49 homes/lots, $5 million to $10 million/year; and $1530: 50+ homes/lots, over $10 million/year). Associate members (companies who provide a service or product for the building industry) are a flat rate of $505. That’s less than $2 a day!

I don’t build houses. What’s there for me?

If you are a commercial contractor or subcontractor, we have an active Commercial Builders Council. If you are a remodeler, we have an excellent consumer referral program through our website and Classified Directory of members.

I need answers on the new Florida Building Code. Can BANCF help me?

We have FAQs on the Florida Building Code, checklists for applying for a permit under the new code, and an expert resource available for members to contact.

Can BANCF help me with legal questions?

We have an experienced team of attorneys at the National Association of Home Builders to provide free legal assistance to members. And, they regularly publish reports on “hot” issues.

Does BANCF have information on new products available?

You can see all the latest and most innovative products at both the annual Southeast Builders Conference and the International Builders Show. And, you can get information on new products being tested through the Research Center.

Does BANCF have a local (Gainesville) office to serve my needs?

How will I know what’s going on so I can participate?

Each month you will receive an envelope from BANCF packed with information on what’s going on. You will get a personal call from a BANCF Staff member before each special event.

I have all the business I need right now. Why should I join?

Because you don’t have the time to personally keep up with what the city and county (and state) are doing that affects your business. And, you don’t have time to set up networking opportunities and research the market to build for the future. BANCF does all that for you.

When you join BANCF, you automatically become a member of the Florida Home Builders Association (FHBA) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). That’s over 200,000 companies nationwide! You can market to them through the International Builders Show and the Southeast Builders Conference, and share ideas through online forums just for members. And, you get a discount on NAHB’s mailing list service.

Will I have the opportunity to meet other members?

Yes! You can attend monthly membership meetings (over 150 members attend monthly), you can serve on any committee that interests you – all meet regularly and are made up of members anxious to meet other members. And, you can participate in fun events such as our Annual Golf Tournament, Family Fishing Weekend, and Installation Banquet.
