New Master Builders Accepted Into Program

The Certified Master Builders of South Carolina recently accepted six new builders into the designation program. Calvin Richardson, Charley Stanley and Mitch Johnson of the Aiken County HBA, Darryl Hall of the HBA of the Greater Pee Dee, Harold Noland of the Charleston-Trident HBA, and Ralph Huff of the Hilton Head Area HBA were all accepted into the CMB program.

By being a CMB designation holder, these builders can take advantage of a 10 percent discount on workers’ compensation insurance through the SCHB Self Insurers’ Fund. Other benefits of being a CMB include being included on the program advertising campaign, being listed on the CMB website, and using the designation as a marketing tool.
