Home Builders Association of Greater Baton Rouge

06/05/2026

If this month's Greater Baton Rouge Business Report is any indication, HBA|GBR members are helping shape the future of homebuilding all across our region.

From the cover story featuring Scott Bardwell of Bardwell Homes to the Homebuilding Roundtable sponsored by HBA|GBR, our members and leadership are front and center throughout this edition.

In fact, 29 of the 30 home builders ranked in the issue are HBA|GBR members. Featured builders Russell Alleman, Scott Bardwell, Kyle Evans, and Brandon Billeaud are all members, with many more represented throughout the magazine.

We're proud to see so many of our members recognized for the work they're doing to build homes, strengthen communities, and advance our industry throughout the Capital Region.

Congratulations to all of the HBA|GBR members featured in this month's issue. Grab yours today!

Get To Know Our Industry Champion: HomeBuilders Self Insurers Fund – Workers' comp built by builders, for builders.

SIF is the only workers' compensation provider endorsed by the Louisiana Home Builders Association, and they've spent more than 40 years protecting the people who build Louisiana.

They're homegrown and laser-focused on our industry, which shows up in details like free loss control services, onsite safety reviews, and toolbox talks that keep crews safe and jobs moving — plus access to a 24/7 online portal for payments, real-time reports, and policy documents.

When your workers' comp partner actually understands construction, everything runs smoother, and that's exactly the kind of value an HBA|GBR membership opens up.

Here's what's coming up around Baton Rouge this summer.

Bardwell Homes recently announced a limited release of new homesites at Benton at Magnolia Woods. The new phase includes 18 ready-to-build lots, giving buyers a chance to get into one of Baton Rouge's most sought-after communities. It's also one of the last opportunities for new construction along Highland Road.

In addition to the new lots off Highland, Bardwell still has one remaining home available in Inniswylde, townhomes in Willow Grove off Perkins, and, right outside the 225, new homes now available in Terra Bella in Covington, LA!

Excited to see what's next for Bardwell Homes this summer!

Let's talk about home features that don't get enough love.

Custom glass installations.

The impact can't be overstated. Gorgeous, functional, major curb appeal, and hello energy efficiency.

And one of the best places to get custom glass in Baton Rouge is M&M Glass Company, LLC, an Industry Champion bringing precision craftsmanship to every project. From custom home installations to commercial storefronts, their skilled team delivers the quality our builder members depend on.

What's an underrated element you think Louisiana builders should highlight more?
