Cool! 😎

Congratulations to Timothy L., winner of the SSEABIA Builder’s Choice Award, who took home a LEGO City Cement Mixer for his fantastic creation, “Million Dollar Mansion.” 🏆

We love seeing young people imagine, design, build, and create, because somewhere along the way, a LEGO house can turn into an interest in carpentry, construction, engineering, electrical work, plumbing, or one of the many skilled trades that literally build our communities.

Timothy, we hope to see your name on a few real million-dollar mansions around Ketchikan in the decades to come! 😉

At the Southern Southeast Alaska Building Industry Association, we believe supporting the next generation starts early. We’re proud to encourage students to explore the trades and to help build pathways for the young people who will someday build our homes, our businesses, and our community.

Because every builder has to start somewhere. ❤️🏠

ASHBA actively lobbies for state housing initiatives like the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) New Home Construction Rebate. Programs like this put up to $10,000 directly into the hands of qualifying homeowners who build owner-occupied 5-Star Plus energy-efficient homes with a licensed, residential-endorsed contractor.

Every unneeded mandate can add thousands of dollars to the cost of a new build. By unifying local chapters like the Mat-Su Home Builders, .home.builders, Southern Southeast Alaska, and the Kenai Peninsula, ASHBA ensures lawmakers hear a clear, pro-housing voice before passing laws that impact your bottom line.
