Oklahoma is one of the few states that does not require homebuilders or
general contractors be licensed or undergo any sort of continuing
education in order to build homes. Heartland Homes has been a charter
member in the Certified Home Builder Program that was developed by the
Oklahoma State Homebuilders Association with the goal of raising the
knowledge level of Oklahoma builders and establishing a strict Code of
Ethics to ensure quality construction and safer homes for Oklahomans.
All Heartland Homes are inspected periodically during construction by
its staff of Certified Builders in addition to third party independent
inspectors that are brought in at key points of the building process to
ensure top quality construction.
