New Member Highlight - Moderno Porcelain Works: A Porcelain Turnkey Solution

Moderno Porcelain Works constantly pushes the boundaries of what design with porcelain can become. Specializing in the fabrication and installation of large-format porcelain (5' x 10') slabs, their experienced craftsmen raise the quality standards in the surfacing industry. As the only company in North America using advanced fabrication machines and a proprietary installation process, they are 100% dedicated to porcelain. From material selection and precise laser measurement to fabrication and installation, Moderno is a turnkey solution for all things porcelain.

Moderno can take a marble-like dream home and turn it into a reality with less cost, less material, and no harm to the earth. Their in-house craftsmen create endless possibilities from shower walls with fewer grout lines to slip-resistant flooring, scratch-resistant countertops, heat-resistant fireplace surrounds, decorative tv niches, and outdoor kitchens. The possibilities are truly endless.

Builders are a crucial partnership that Moderno constantly wants to nurture. Throughout the entirety of the project, you will have a dedicated project specialist that will make sure everything runs smoothly and on time. Moderno is here to support YOU.

Council Connections - An HBA Council Spotlight

Erin Hurley - Director of Business Development, Lita Dirks & Co, LLC, Professional Women in Building (PWB) 2022 Chair

"What PWB Membership Means to Me: How we benefit personally and professionally

Personally, so very grateful for the connectedness - we're all here in this space and time together, for a purpose.  To have folks that you know you can call on and understand where you are, especially in our industry, is so important.  The PWB members are here rooting you on, encouraging and helping to provide a place to get engaged.

Professionally, I am beyond grateful for our mentoring program.  To have a formal avenue to turn to for advice, support, coaching and motivation - what an amazing gift!  I can personally attest to truly how life changing something that might sound so small can be.

This year, as the PWB chair, it was my personal goal to encourage others and promote just how impactful PWB has been for me.  The intangible and tangible benefits that I truly hope to provide all our members. Understanding that our world today has changed in oh so many dynamics, and we're still navigating those waters.

From our mentoring program, to our educational lunches, working side by side on our community outreach projects and networking at happy hours, we hope to provide that connection and that opportunity for everyone to feel heard and get involved."

Marshall Fire Task Force Working Groups

As the Boulder County community begins the recovery after the devastating effects of the Marshall Fire, the Home Builders Association of Metro Denver will be providing accurate information for the public on rebuilding, finding a builder and/or contractor, and preventing scams and further loss. With the rebuilding phase closer at hand, the HBA's Marshall Fire Task Force is transitioning into Working Groups to focus on specific areas of reconstruction.

If you have interest in helping rebuild or have expertise to share in one of the following areas, we ask that you consider joining one of the Working Groups. If you are interested or would like addition information, please email taskforce@hbadenver.com this is an important time for HBA members to step up and support the Marshall Fire homeowners and communities. All HBA members are encouraged to participate in some way on this effort.
