President’s Message
Welcome back to the October edition of our Builder Buzz magazine! Let us embrace the fact that fall is finally here!
September is always an exciting month for the BMHBA with another year in the books with our 32nd annual Fall Parade of Homes. The weather was perfect to showcase the 24 homes our local builders had entered for display. On behalf of the BMHBA, a huge thank you to all you builders who worked hard to have a home on display this year for our local parade. We could not do the parade without all your hard work and commitment in getting your product show ready!
A couple events to mark down on your calendar: Our Fall mixer will be coming up on the 15th at Lady J’s. Please come out for this free event to support your local HBA and to welcome our newly elected board members, as well as to celebrate the awards given to some of our local members. Also, jumping ahead into November, we have scheduled our local Builders engagement meeting on November 13th at the city works building. This is a valuable meeting for your business to hear the latest on building codes, building requirements, OSHA updates and more. Please contact your local BMHBA for any additional info.
Interest rates have dropped within the last couple of months and with that brings a lot of optimism towards our industry. Hopefully, we can continue to see a trend of continued rate cuts to help sell existing inventory and to gear you up for a busy 2025.
ANDREW MELDAHL 2024 BMHBA PRESIDENT

Around Our State
October is Careers in Construction Month! This is the time for associations and members to help raise awareness of the well-paying jobs that are available in homebuilding and related trade professions. Governor Burgum has officially declared October as Careers in Construction Month in North Dakota. Workforce development is vital to help shape the next generation of builders.
Delegates from NDAB recently attended NAHB’s Fall Leadership Meetings in San Antonio. The weather was wonderful and it’s always fun to reunite with other leaders from across the country. The NAHB Leadership Council, which is led by Chairman Carl Harris, held their meeting on October 3rd where various recommendations and resolutions were voted on.
Save the date for the Area 10 Leadership Conference in 2025! This will be held in Des Moines, Iowa on April 16-17. This will coincide with BUILD MY FUTURE, a hands-on career immersion event that highlights careers available for high school students. This annual event pulls in over 5,000 students from 110+ schools across Iowa. Attendees of the conference will include emerging leaders, Executive Officers & staff across North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. This training is uniquely designed to offer sessions that support the professional development of both member leaders and HBA staff. Further information will be provided soon!
Registration is open for the 2025 International Builders’ Show® (IBS). The 2025 show will take place in Las Vegas on February 25-27. Go to www.buildersshow.com to register. You can also book your hotel room through the NDAB hotel block at the Westgate during registration. The IBS Closing Concert will feature Grand Ole Opry member and multi-platinum singer and songwriter Chris Janson. If you recruit one new builder and/or associate member during the year, you receive two complimentary tickets to the concert. If you recruit at least five new builder and/or associate members you will receive an invitation to the Spike VIP section, where you can enjoy complimentary food and drinks for the duration of the show. The deadline to recruit for the 2025 show is October 31st
NDAB’s fall events will be held in Williston, November 11-13. Be on the lookout for official email invitations with registration going live this month. There will be a BUILD-PAC Bourbon event the night of November 11th, committee meetings and the Annual Banquet on November 12th, and the board meeting on November 13th. The meetings and Annual Banquet will be at McCody Concrete. We encourage all members to make the trip to Williston as we induct our 2025 Board of Directors, 2025 President Bob Horab, and announce our 2024 award winners!
