Claim 1 — RenoMark scale: "more than 1,200 CHBA members participating in the RenoMark program" — CHBA, April 2023. The same phrasing ("from Newfoundland to British Columbia") was repeated in CHBA's August 2024 transition article. No updated count has been published after the June 2024 ownership transition and the rollout of the new online verification system.

Source: Building Excellence April 12, 2023. Confidence: Verified for 2023; possibly Stale for current.

Claim 2 — CHBA scale: CHBA represents approximately 8,500 member firms across Canada as of October 2025.

Source: chba.ca/2025/10/01/renovation-month-campaign/. Confidence: Verified.

Local-HBA scale (for cross-reference)

  • BILD GTA: more than 1,000 member companies (bildgta.ca/join-bild/).
  • OHBA: 31 local associations, ~4,000 member companies province-wide (wrhba.com/pages/ohba).
  • WRHBA: over 160 member companies in Waterloo Region (wrhba.com).

Confidence: Verified.

Why this matters for Candid use: RenoMark members are a small but visible slice (~14%) of CHBA's total membership. The Ontario subset is not separately disclosed; do not claim a specific Ontario count in published copy — the only safe local count is the WRHBA directory listing (16 members; see WRHBA RenoMark: 16 verified renovators, mandatory for any WRHBA renovator-category member (verified 2026-05-24)).
