Marshall Durrett, of Durrett Interests, LLC recently became one of the select group of 2,000 professional builders nationwide who have earned the Certified Graduate Builder (CGB) designation, identifying him as one of the building industry’s top professionals.
Administered by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) University of Housing, the CGB program is sponsored locally by the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin (HBAGA).
CGBs earn the building industry’s premier professional designation by successfully completing an intensive series of nine six-hour courses. The CGB curriculum incorporates training by leading building industry practitioners and academics on a range of topics, including business management, emerging technologies and market trends. After earning CGB credentials, program graduates are required to maintain their designation through completion of an additional six hours of training annually.
Durrett was also recently awarded Texas Star Builder designation. Administered by the Texas Residential Construction Commission (TRCC), the Texas Star Builder Program has stringent requirements that its members must meet in experience and education directly related to residential construction. After earning Texas Star Builder Program credentials, members are required to maintain their designation through adhering to certain “best practices” in their industry as well as completion of an additional sixteen hours of continuing education annually.
