Founded in 1938 by a group of Pittsburgh area builders, the
association has grown to over 600 companies in Southwestern PA.
The non-profit trade organization is comprised of homebuilders,
remodelers, light-commercial contractors and associated businesses
including suppliers, trade contractors, lenders, product
manufacturers, utilities, realtors and other licensed professionals
including architects, engineers, and attorneys.
The Association’s primary purpose is the promotion of home
ownership and the improvement of the residential building industry.
Members of BAMP adhere to a code of ethics that recognizes a
paramount responsibility to its customers, community and country.

Doing research BEFORE you start a project is
the single-best step to ensuring your
satisfaction and that the job is done right.
TIPS & QUESTIONS TO GET STARTED
 Ask how long have they been in business? What types of work
and written warranty do they provide?
 Obtain the names and contact information of current and previous customers, the type of projects and which suppliers they will use. (Make sure they are recent and similar to your project)
 Don’t just obtain them, take the time to CHECK THEM!
 Do they seem accessible? Ask what level of involvement you will have with the project?
 Will they provide a written estimate of the project that clearly
outlines the work to be performed and a breakdown of expenses? This is a must!
 Will they provide a written contract? DON’T START without it!
 Be VERY cautious of unusually low-priced bids, always get more than one and compare.
 Ask about the construction specifications and required
independent, government, inspections.
 If remodeling, ask about the demolition, cleanup process and the EPA lead paint regulations if your home was built before 1978.
 Ask for copies of current worker’s compensation and general
liability insurance. Is it appropriate to the size of your project?

PROTECT YOURSELF:
Hiring a reputable
Home Builder/Remodeler
If you are thinking of building a new
home, or are preparing to make
renovations to your existing home,
there is some important information
you should know. Pennsylvania has
statewide building standards—the
Uniform Construction Code—which
requires all new homes or structural
remodeling projects to be completed to specific minimum standards, or
above, and provides for inspections
to verify work has been performed in
accordance with this government mandated requirements.
Apart from the Uniform Construction
Code, as a consumer you should be
aware of the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act...a system put
in place to ensure quality work and a
positive remodeling experience. This
law requires all home improvement
contractors that work in Pennsylvania to be registered with the state Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer
Protection. In addition to registering
with the state, home improvement contractors are required to provide written estimates, contracts and change
orders under certain guidelines provided in the law. The law also limits how
much money the consumer must pay in
advance of the project. (Never pay
for the full amount upfront.) Regulated contractors are also required to
provide consumers and potential customers with their registration number
and other information so customers may
investigate and verify the contractor’s
registration status. You may verify if a
contractor is registered by visiting the
Attorney General’s website at, http://
hicsearch.attorneygeneral.gov.
While the law requires contractors performing remodeling work, renovations
or repairs—not new home builders- to
register with the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office, this registration
is not an endorsement of their honesty
or quality of work. For this reason, we
always recommend doing business
with a BAMP (Builders Association of
Home Builders) member. Members of
BAMP and our affiliated state and national professional trade associations
are established contractors, often certified in a special area of construction,
and are truly invested in their profession. Members are constantly seeking
industry based education and are up-todate on the latest technology, techniques
and construction requirements in their
commitment to the highest quality,
integrity and standards in the industry.

IMPORTANT NOTICES: The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) shown here assumes a 20% down payment
for loans up to a maximum loan amount of $417,000 minimum loan amount $10,000. All interest rates,
APR’s and points are subject to change without notice. Subject to credit approval. Property insurance is
required. Payment example does not include taxes, property insurance premiums, flood and mortgage
insurance (if applicable). Actual payment obligation will be greater. An escrow account is required.
Monthly payment for a 15 year $100,000 mortgage would be $702.67. The interest rate and fees shown
above are available to borrowers with an excellent credit history.
The actual interest rate and fees available to you will be based on your credit
history and may be different than the rates displayed here.
How Much House Can You Afford?
Advance preparation is key when getting ready to buy a home. You need to decide
how much to spend on your home and which type of mortgage will work best for
you, as well as understand the settlement process.
Before you visit a sales office, model home or open house, you should take advantage
of the many sources that can help you get prepared, and take some steps to ensure
you’re in the best possible financial situation:
• Figure out what you can comfortably pay on a monthly basis. Write down all your
monthly expenses including loan payments, utilities, insurance, credit cards and
don’t forget food, clothing and entertainment expenditures. When determining the
monthly payment you can afford, remember that in addition to the monthly principal and interest, you will also be paying into escrows for property taxes, hazard
insurance and possibly mortgage insurance or a home owners or condominium association assessment. Many real estate-focused websites have mortgage calculators
that are a great way to figure out what your monthly payments would be based on
current interest rates and down payment amounts.
• Pay down your debts. Debt that you carry on your credit cards will limit the
amount of a loan a lender will be willing to give you. Lenders typically want to see a
total debt service ratio that is less than 40 percent of your monthly income.
• Attend a home buying seminar or talk to a credit counselor who does not work for
a lender. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) offers free
housing counseling and seminars; visit www.hud.gov or call HUD's interactive voice
system at: (800) 569-4287 for more information.
• When you have done your research, visit a lender and find out what loans would
be available to you. Then, get pre-approved. This will tell you how much money the
lender is willing to loan you, and you will know what price range you should be
shopping in. Pre-approval also enables you to quickly make an offer when you find
a home, and is attractive to sellers who are considering multiple offers. A lender’s
pre-approval would still be subject to a final verification of your credit and a satisfactory appraisal.
