2. Member Category Descriptions

Initial Categorization
As per the below table, members in good standing on May 31, 2020 were categorized with some
adjustments, in consultation with Constituent Associations. In establishing current membership
categories, BILD Alberta used historic data related to building permits and lot registrations.

Access to this data varies from municipality to municipality. For the Calgary and Edmonton
Regions, activity data from 2016 ‐ 2019 was used to identify the appropriate category for each
member company. In other regions, data was often only available for 2 to 4 years.

Review of Categories

The current categorizations of member companies are intended to remain in place for a period
of at least 3 years. In a period following 3 years, BILD Alberta will gather available data to re‐
assess the categories of all builder / developer member companies.

References to specified numbers of lots and permits were only used to establish the initial
category of each member company. Moving forward, categories will be based on a member
company’s activity relative to broader membership.

Example: 8 member companies currently fall within the Industry Leader category. This
represents 2% of all builder / developer members. When categories are re‐assessed in the

05.2020 BILD Alberta Membership Dues.docx 2 of 3

 future (based on updated data), members who are in the top 2% of permit / lot volume will be
placed in the Industry Leader category.

The BILD Alberta Board of Directors may from time to time change the categories and/or
annual dues as they find necessary.

Change of Membership Category

A member company who wishes to be re‐categorized may apply to the BILD Alberta Board
Executive Committee and must provide data demonstrating the current category is incorrect.

3. New Members
New Members that join the association after July 1, 2020 will be categorized based on historical
activity (building permits and/or registered lots) in consultation with Constituent Associations.
