Findley Achieves Master Builder Designation
James R. "Rusty" Findley of Findley Construction Company, Inc., has earned
the designation of Certified Master Builder in Aiken. "This means that Rusty
has gone far beyond merely holding a state builders license," said Master
Builder Chairman A.P. Neal.
Neal explained, "The Master Builder Program was created by the Home Builders
Association of South Carolina as a way to increase the professionalism of
home builders in the state and to provide an increased level of protection
for consumers."
In order to reach this level, Rusty had to participate in 20 hours of
continuing education, provide seven reference letters, assure a one-year
warranty on all his homes and show at least five years experience in home
building.
Master Builders must sign an agreement that requires him to provide the
client with a construction contract and that he maintain membership in the
Home Builders Association.
Although South Carolina has one of the most rigorous licensing requirements
in the country, the Home Builders Association of SC has begun this program
to allow builders to go up even higher.
"This program is good for our builders," said A.P. Neal, "but it is even
better news for consumers." Neal said only twenty states require a person to
take a written test to be licensed. "Although we are one of those states we
have felt we could do even better," said Neal.
