Builders and Designers Guild
Guild Overview
Based on a strong commitment to and presence in the housing market, NRHA established a Builders and Designers Guild (“the Guild”). The Guild is comprised of builders, architects and qualified designers, who share a common belief that quality design and craftsmanship are integral components of creating great neighborhoods. Guild membership is required for single-family (attached and detached) construction projects, where NRHA is the land developer. The Guild may ultimately be expanded to include multifamily and other development scenarios.
Guild Goals
- Establish and maintain quality builder/homebuyer relationships,
resulting in positive customer satisfaction for homebuyers in NRHA developments - Promote a high level of construction
quality and recognize excellent builder performance - Facilitate good communication between NRHA, the city and the design-build team
- Enhance revitalization of Norfolk’s architectural and building legacy through continuous improvement in housing design and craftsmanship
