CHBA Central Interior Partner with Thompson Rivers University

KAMLOOPS — The CHBA Central Interior and Thompson River University School of Trades and Technology have announced the start of the 2014 Training House Project. This unique project, now in its 23rd year, is especially beneficial to the first year residential construction program students at Thompson Rivers University as a “hands on” building experience. The students do the foundation and rough in work and the home is finished with Canadian Home Builders’ Association member contractors.
For the last 19 years, the finished home has been sold to the Kamloops YMCA/YWCA for their Dream Home Lottery fundraiser. Proceeds from the Lottery have gone to specific community endeavours coordinated and run by the Kamloops YMCA/YWCA.
The annual project is very well known not only locally but provincially and nationally and has won awards for its unique public private partnership every year.
The 2014 Training House is being built at THE POINTE in Sun Rivers. It is a one level rancher with three bedrooms, approximately 1773 sq. ft. in size. The house has a stunning view of the city and will be of contemporary style.
CHBA CI will profile the building steps on Facebook and Twitter, giving followers updates throughout the building process. Like us on Facebook – Canadian Home Builders’ Association Central Interior and Twtiter @CHBACI.
