Here is a recap of the show from last year.

The SVBA Home Show 2012 – Ask the architect?

The Home Show is a chance to meet so many people who can help you design, build, renovate, or modify your home. So how do you know which person is an expert, which person will offer the best value, or who can do the work you need? You can ask the architect that is at the show! Yes I realize I am asking you to trust me.

ask the architect

An architect’s job is to know who in the community can be an effective part of the team to create a successful project. We spend every day getting to know the products available, the people who do the work, and the new innovations entering the industry. The architect is the owner’s representative throughout the process, from design to construction. The architect is a resource for the consumer and is able to guide and direct them. The architect is a construction expert, knowledgeable of the building code and understands the big picture. Most importantly, the architect can help you save money.

If you have any projects that you are thinking about (replacing windows, adding a deck, landscaping your yard, remodeling your kitchen, replacing bath fixtures….) stop by our booth at the home show and ask who to talk to at the show. We really do know the best of the best in town and can help you find them.

SVBA Home Show – Harrisonburg’s place for all things residential construction

If you are thinking about renovating your existing home, building a new home, or purchasing a home, the place to get all the information you need is the SVBA Home Show this weekend at the JMU Convocation Center. The Home Show is a chance to informally meet the people who can help you have a successful project, make the best financial decisions, and see the most innovative solutions all in one place.

Harrisonburg Architect

The show opens today from 4pm – 8pm, is open Saturday from 10 am – 8 pm, and is open Sunday from noon – 5 pm. Admission is $5 person (children under 12 are free). There are plenty of activities for the kids, lots of experts to answer your questions, and some cool new products to see and touch. I hope you can make it to this once a year event!
