Get to Know Us
Since 1972, the Manufactured Housing Association of British Columbia has been the voice of manufactured home dealers, builders, transporters and many suppliers providing service within BC.
Today the MHABC represents the interests of both the industry and that of the general public. Through working with many government agencies at the federal, provincial and local levels, The MHABC governs the strict criteria required to become a member of the Association. These Association Members serve on technical committees in building code and standards development.
The MHABC also serves as an information source for the general public, fielding questions ranging from sales and service providers to technical details on manufactured home construction practices.
