Carroll Construction has been provided so many opportunities by the community we work in. We are committed to giving back in any way that we can. Here are a few of the ways that we serve you!
HBAGBR Home Builder’s Foundation
For many years our owner, Robert Carroll, served on the Board of Directors for the Capital Region Builder’s Foundation (CRBF) which is now known as the Greater Baton Rouge Homebuilders Foundation (HBF). The HBF was created to raise money to help the residents of the Capital Region and surrounding areas. Many people are familiar with the “Miracle Mansion” which was built annually and raffled to raise money for the Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital. Millions were raised to support this effort.
These efforts continue today as we strive to improve the lives of those in the community we live in an serve. Beneficiaries of the funds can be found here.
Home Builders Association of Greater Baton Rouge (HBAGBR)
Our owner, Robert Carroll, has served on the Board of Directors of the Home Builders Association of Greater Baton Rouge (HBAGBR).
The Home Builders Association of Greater Baton Rouge is dedicated to promoting, protecting, and preserving the home building industry as a viable economic force in Greater Baton Rouge.
The HBAGBR is a trade association committed to the advancement of the home building industry committed to protecting and building the American Dream of Homeownership. Our focus is on maintaining the affordability of homeownership through advocacy efforts with our local government and code officials, advancing the professionalism of the trade through education initiatives, and protection of our consumer by shaping an industry that is known for excellence and integrity. Robert Carroll served as the 2015 President of the Association and has served as the Chairman of the Board. For more information, please visit www.hbagbr.org
National Association Of Home Builders (NAHB)
Additionally, Robert Carroll has served on the Board of Directors, the Construction Codes and Standards Committee, the Young Professionals Committee, and the Single Family Finance Subcommittee of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
This Association gives a national voice to our local concerns and allows us to travel annually to Washington DC to meet with our representatives and senators to lobby for the items that are important to Louisiana and her residents. We were able to participate first hand in the effort to fight the Biggert Waters Act, which nearly devastated our housing economy through the dismantling of the flood subsidy. We continue to fight for homeowner’s rights to the use of their land against organizations such as the EPA and DEQ, which regularly seizes private family land and seeks to expand burdensome regulations. Additionally, our continued efforts to equip local code officials with the tools to keep the actions of special interest groups from turning our building codes into product manuals are of vital importance to the affordability of housing.
Lastly, anyone who has ever received a low appraisal on their home can understand the reason we are committed to remaining involved in the shaping of the national appraisal process. For more information, please visit www.NAHB.org.
