The Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Central Connecticut is a group of home building professionals who value the growth of our local communities. The organization hosts an annual awards ceremony to honor members for their exceptional work in the industry and community. Johnny Carrier of By Carrier Inc. was awarded the 2018 Irving R. Stich Award!
HBRA Annual Awards
By Carrier is a proud member of the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Central Connecticut. Over the years, the HBRA of Central CT has recognized By Carrier’s energy-efficient construction with more than 50 Home Building Industry (HOBI) Awards. We are humbled that our very own Johnny Carrier was selected for the 2018 Irving R. Stich Award! At the annual awards ceremony, Johnny was honored for his involvement in the residential construction industry and service to the community.
In 2017, Johnny became the builder representative on the State Codes and Standards Committee. Shortly after, the fire marshals proposed fire sprinklers be required in new townhomes. Johnny knew this proposal would have a significant impact on home affordability and attainability, so he opposed the mandate. Although it seemed like this requirement would be approved, the Legislature’s Regulations Review Committee unanimously rejected the proposal in May 2018. The committee stated there was no statutory authority for the sprinkler mandate.
