‘Class of 2004’ CGR Graduates Honored During Remodeling Show

The 2004 Certified Graduate Remodelor™ (CGR) designees were honored during a graduate recognition ceremony hosted by the NAHB Remodelors™ Council during the Remodeling Show in Chicago earlier this month. CGR is an industry-recognized, professional designation designed to emphasize business management skills as the key to a professional remodeling operation.

This year, a record 149 remodelers graduated from the CGR program. The number of 2004 CGR graduates exceeds last year’s record of 131 designees and brings the total number of graduates since the program's inception in 1988 to 1,268. For a complete list of the 2004 graduates, click here.

CGR is a national designation program under the auspices of the NAHB Remodelors™ Council. The program recognizes active management and technical experience in all phases of a remodeling business and requires the completion and continuation of specified education coursework and a commitment to professionalism.

CGR is the only remodeling industry designation program that emphasizes business management skills, with course content divided into five key areas to help remodelers build and grow competitive remodeling businesses:

• Sales and Marketing
• Business Administration
• Design, Estimating and Job Cost
• Contracts, Liability and Risk Management
• Project Management

A remodeler earns a CRG designation after first completing a three-hour evaluation of their remodeling and business knowledge to determine how many courses they are required to complete to take in each of the five key content areas of the program. Then, upon completion of the required coursework, the remodeler graduates from the program and receives CGR designation.
