Community Impact
At RJ Thieneman, we are deeply invested in our local community and the building industry. By actively engaging with the Building Industry Association (BIA), we advocate for the future of our industry. Our roots as a family business extend into the Louisville community, which we consider an extension of our family. We take pride in our involvement with local nonprofits, awareness walks, and initiatives like building homes with Habitat for Humanity. A thriving community is one that supports its members, and we are committed to contributing to that vitality.
Current Initiatives
Our company proudly supports several initiatives, including The Healing Place, Habitat for Humanity, the RJ Thieneman Family Foundation, the BIA, and the Building Industry Charitable Foundation (BICFA).
Achievements
We celebrate the legacy of our founder, Robert J. Thieneman, Sr., who received the BIA Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997, a recognition echoed by his son, Robert J. Thieneman, Jr., in 2021. We also established the RJ Thieneman Family Foundation, reflecting our commitment to business success and community impact, a powerful testament to our values and vision.
Final Thoughts
Our involvement with the Building Industry Association is essential for fostering sustainable living conditions and business opportunities for future generations. In the face of growing challenges from special interest groups and governmental regulations, we believe that being part of home building associations like the BIA and NAHB is not just important but a community obligation. Our careers have been dedicated to giving back, ensuring a robust homebuilding industry for generations to come.
