April 3, 2011

Foursquare Builders is excited about the opportunity to work with Lou Kimball, Architect, on a new home in the Wimberley, Texas hill country area.  This modern designed home has been sited and oriented to take advantage of the southerly breezes that run through the area, while taking advantage of the beautiful creek views from the back porch.  This will be another sustainable home with many of the same construction features that Foursquare utilizes in all the homes they build. These features include, rainwater collection, high performance framing techniques, photovoltaic ready, as well as many other features.

Managing Director, LEED AP, GMB

Wes Wigginton has been elected to the 2010-2011 Board of Directors for the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin (HBA).

The HBA of Greater Austin is a trade association that promotes, protects and educates its members and informs the home buying public.

Since 1953, the HBA has served as the leading not-for-profit trade organization dedicated to residential construction and remodeling in Central Texas. With approximately 800 members, the HBA works with government, public, business and community organizations in five counties to protect every family’s right to home ownership.

The HBA and its members work to ensure that those who protect us, teach our children, and provide essential services can afford to live here. The majority of new homes are purchased by middle-class families – the very people at risk of being priced out of our communities by rising taxes, government fees and regulations.

The Board of Directors of the HBA serves as the organization’s top leadership. Executive Committee members provide guidance to the Board of Directors, the HBA Executive Officer, the HBA staff and HBA member volunteers who serve on committees and councils related to each vice president.
