and building professionals are dedicated to
being the best in the field. Our commitment
to earning National and State designations,
through education programs and on-site experience,

designations to include Certified Graduate Builder,

show this commitment.
CERTIFIED GRADUATE BUILDERS AND GRADUATE
MASTERS BUILDERS
Certified Graduate
Builder (CGB) and Graduate Master Builder (GMB)
are two of the top designations developed by
the NAHB for builders. Designations help consumers
to identify professionals who have demonstrated
a commitment to excellence. Their credentials
demonstrate that business owners and senior
managements have undertaken continuing education
courses in all facets of the homebuilding industry.
To earn one of these designations, a builder
must complete a regularly updated curriculum
of industry-related topics. Candidates for these
designations are also required to pledge their
commitment to a professional Code of Ethics.

in the following areas:
- Building Technology

WHY HIRE A CGB OR A GMB?
When you hire a CGB or GMB you can expect an
experienced builder committed to delivering
a quality product. Designations like CGB and
GMB are voluntarily earned and not required
by law-they provide benchmarks of business achievements
consumers can use to measure builders.
Most conscientious builders belong to a local
home builders association as well as the National
Association of Home Builders. They know the
value of the professional development that organizations
provide. Quality builders who have elected to
earn their designations show a commitment beyond
just membership.
All Campbell Garrett Superintendents

Builder Program. Jim Garrett and Scott Lease
both actively participate in the Graduate Master
Builder Program.
STAR BUILDER
The Texas Star Builder Program is a volunteer
program for registered builders and remodelers
who are able to demonstrate certain levels of
construction experience and education and a
long-term commitment to customer service and
satisfaction. Members agree to abide by commission
rules and regulations and to actively participate
in the state-sponsored inspection process. Both
Jim Garrett and Scott Lease hold STAR Builder
Designations.
