The Builder Assessment Review (BAR)

Builders, are you ready to join the elite rantks of the nation's top building industry professionals? The Certified Graduate Builder (CGB), Certified Green Professional (CGP) and other NAHB designations are your sign to clients and colleagues that you are a member of this respected group of professionals.
The BAR is your first step towards obtaining these prestigious designations.


For the first time in Tyler -- November 4, 2008

This comprehensive assessment will measure your expertise in the four key areas of the building industry: Building Technology, Business and Finance, Project Management, and Sales and Marketing.
Your results will show you the areas where your knowledge is strongest, where it is weakest, and will determine the courses required.
