Building More Than a Ramp: HHMR and the Home Builders Foundation

Ramp on house

Since 1993, HBF has brought together Colorado’s homebuilding and construction community to provide accessibility modifications for individuals and families with disabilities.

Last Friday, four members of the Higgins, Hopkins, McLain & Roswell team traded briefs, depositions, and construction litigation files for lumber, drills, and a day on a jobsite.

HHMR attorneys Ricky Nolen, Amanda Tynan, Kyle Thompson, and Tanner Davis participated in the Home Builders Foundation’s 2026 Blitz Build, helping construct an accessibility ramp for Andrea, a Denver-area resident whose mobility challenges had made something most of us take for granted extraordinarily difficult: leaving her own home independently.

The day after the build, the volunteers received an e-mail from HBF’s Terrina Reiber with an unusual request: set an alarm for 10:00 the next morning.

At 10:00 on a Saturday, she explained, they might be running errands, meeting a friend, or simply deciding what to do with the day.

When the alarm went off, she asked them to think about Andrea.

Because Andrea could now make that same choice.
