Town of Chapel Hill issued the following announcement on Dec. 22.
Town of Chapel Hill Building and Development Services staff received one of three Home Builders Association of Durham, Orange, and Chatham County’s (HBADOC) Presidential Service Awards, presented December 9.
“These staff members have been true assets to our association as well as tremendous support to me over the past two years,” said HBADOC Board President Nicole Goolsby. “It’s been amazing having Tom DiBenedetto as a sounding board, someone who understood the make-up of all three levels of the HBA, the challenges of leadership, and balancing it all with running a business.”
Building and Development Services staff have been working closely with this organization to improve communication and the ways in which they do business, including permitting, inspections, and code enforcement. A recent example of this strong partnership is the HBADOC’s call for and support in implementing the Town’s new permitting software, which helps improve the customer experience while also keeping track of permit status, inspection schedules, and other key milestones as building projects are completed.
DiBenedetto received the award on behalf of the staff. He said, “we have heard what is important to our community, and we are responding accordingly.”
HBADOC’s goal is to provide service and representation to and for its members – contractors and associated professionals – in support of the building industry at large and in the community.
