I have some dietary restrictions. Can Home Building Week accommodate my needs?

When you register for Home Building Week, you will be asked to specify any food allergies or intolerances you would like us to be aware of. This information is provided to the hotel well in advance and will be accommodated as possible. “Preferences” such as low-carb or low-sodium cannot, unfortunately, be accommodated. At buffet functions, please check in with a server to receive any special dishes prepared for you (or to confirm what you can enjoy from the food stations).  At served functions, please make yourself known to your table server to receive your correct meal.

This is a more formal evening—black-tie optional. It encompasses the 2024 CHBA National Awards for Housing Excellence, showcasing the best of the best in new homes, renovations and community development, as well as new home marketing, interspersed between courses of a sumptuous dinner menu.
