Code of Ethics
As members in good
standing of the Golden Sands Home Builders Association, we believe in,
and accept, the responsibilities and obligations inherent in our
provision of housing, light commercial construction and any other
services. Consistent with the Wisconsin Builders Association and the
National Association of Home Builders Code of Ethics contained in its
constitution, we support the following objectives:
1.
To conduct business affairs with
professionalism and skill.
2.
To provide the best housing value possible.
3.
To protect the consumer through the use of quality materials and
construction practices backed by integrity and service.
4.
To provide housing with high standards of safety, sanitation and
livability.
5.
To meet all financial obligations in a responsible manner.
6.
To comply with the spirit and letter of business contracts, and manage
employees, subcontractors and suppliers with fairness and honor.
7.
To keep informed regarding public policies and other essential
information, which affect our business interests and those of the
building industry as a whole.
8.
To comply with the rules and regulations prescribed by law and
government agencies for the health, safety and welfare
of the community.
9. To
keep honesty as our guiding business policy.
10.
To
provide timely response to items covered under warranty.
11.
To
seek to resolve controversies through a non-litigation dispute
resolution mechanism.
12.
To support and abide by the
decisions of the association in promoting and enforcing this Code of
Ethics.
13.
As a member, we pledge to respect
members who choose to participate in GSHBA events and
pledge to refrain from competing against or detracting from those events
in any way. Competition or detraction from a GSHBA event is
defined as a promotion/event that occurs at the same time or very near
the same time of the GSHBA sponsored event that is advertised or
promoted in a manner that creates confusion for the general public or
appears to be attempting to capitalize from the GSHBA’s event without
being a participant in the event.
Members
assume the responsibilities in the Code of Ethics freely and solemnly
and are mindful that these responsibilities are a part of their
obligation as members of the Golden Sands Home Builders Association.
We
also believe that homeownership should be within reach of all Americans.
Finally,
because we hold inviolate the free enterprise system and American way of
life, we pledge our support to our associates, our local, state and
national associations, and all related industries concerned with the
preservation of inalienable rights and freedoms.
