The HBA of CT is happy to announce a new program for our builder and remodeler members from the Suppliers & Installers Buying Network (S&I). The Member Rebate Program is a simple way for builders and remodlers to generate a cash payment for each project they close or complete. When you participate in this program you can count on receiving checks every quarter.
Read below or see the October 2009 Member Rebate Program Newsletter  that explains the program and includes a registration form for all HBA Builders & Remodelers to start receiving rebate checks (real money back) for homes closed or work completed.
Why participate?
Simply put - money. You'll receive a check based on the products you use in your projects.
No need to change your business practices
Besides the rebate, the next best part of the program is that it relies on very little effort from you. You do not have to change the way you currently buy. S&I Buyers Network does the paperwork, collects the money, and mails you the quarterly checks directly.
Detailed manufacturer information available . . .
When you sign up, you will be sent a Manufacturer Guide that details the information that is needed per home from the manufacturers you have used. Here are some of the participating manufuacturers. Note: We have added Dirt Devil® Central Vacuum Systems, Tyco Rapid Response® Fire Sprinklers, and VACUFLO® to the Member Rebate Program for a total of 31 Manufacturer Brands.
FAQ'S
(1) Do I have to change the way I do business?
No. You still use the same suppliers and continue conducting your business as usual. The only requirement to qualify for a rebate is that you use two or more of S&I Buying Network's manufacturers.
(2) What if my subcontractors buy all products?
The manufacturers are rewarding loyalty with these rebates. If you are specifying the product to your subcontractors, then you are affecting the sale and therefore qualify for the rebate.
(3) Can I choose just some of the participating manufacturers?
Yes. A builder or remodeler needs to use two of S&I's manufacturers at a minimum to qualify for a rebate.
(4) Do I have to save my receipts?
There are no receipts necessary to process your rebate claim. S&I has made the rebate program as simple as possible. Instead of receipts, we use S&I's manufacturers' salespeople in your area to check that their products were used.
(5) Why do manufacturers want to reward me?
Manufacturers recognize that the small-to-midsize builder is the largest segment of the building industry, and they are rewarding those builders with rebates through this HBACT member benefit program.
(6) Is my company big enough to qualify?
Yes. As an HBACT member, you have combined buying power equivalent to the largest builders in the country
(7) What if I don't renew my association membership?
This program is a member-only benefit. If you leave HBACT, you are no longer able to participate.
(8) How do I make a claim?Fill out the attached claim form for each home/project. This is the easiest way if you only have a couple homes/projects and the products used in each home/project differ greatly.
- Fill out one claim form and send in a list of closed homes/projects. This works well if you use the same products in each home/project. (No receipts are necessary.)
- Submit the form(s) either by email, toll-free fax: 800-977-5591 or via mail to our Claims Department at the address on the bottom of the form.
