Why Should I Join the BCHBA?

The Strength of Our Name:
The reputation of the BCHBA has been built over 50 years of dedication to professional standards, continuing education, and fair business practices. Your membership is a symbol of your credibility in the building industry.

Education:
Educational opportunities scheduled exclusively for BCHBA members are offered throughout the
year, many of them with little or no charge. Opportunities range from formal courses for credit with the Wisconsin Department of Commerce, to seminars and roundtable discussions where members bounce ideas off one another.

Political Advocacy:
Our Government Affairs committee monitors legislative issues that affect the building industry. The BCHBA, NAHB and WBA work to give members a unified, strong voice in order to defeat excessive regulations and defend affordable housing initiatives.

Events & Networking:
From monthly events and Membership Meetings to various committee involvement opportunities, the BCHBA provides many chances for you to meet and learn from fellow professionals, potential customers, and vendors from leading industry suppliers. You also have access to membership mailing lists, an opportunity reserved exclusively for our members.

BCHBA Home Construction Contracts and WBA Home Construction Contracts are available to Builder members.

Publications:
Stay on top of legislative calls to action, industry news and upcoming events through our Breaking Ground newsletter, and WBA and NAHB e-newsletters. 

3 in 1:
BCHBA members automatically become a member at the state (Wisconsin Builders Association - WBA) and national (National Association of Home Builders - NAHB) level. That's three memberships for the price of one. In addition, each federation offers a distinct package of benefits to enhance membership experience.
