The association was founded in 1937
to unify and strengthen our local industry and to represent the
collective interests of the entire building community by providing
professional development and networking opportunities and by promoting
the advancement of the commercial construction industry in general.
Today our membership
numbers over 1,000 companies and individuals including property
owners and managers, developers, general contractors, subcontractors,
suppliers, realtors, architects, engineers, government officials,
public utilities, accountants, manufacturer’s representatives,
bankers, lawyers, bonding agents, labor unions, trade associations,
consultants and virtually any other type of business with an interest
in the industry.
Our 72 year
tradition of cooperation and partnering within the construction
community has positioned us as the recognized industry umbrella
organization interfacing with over twenty other associations within
the region. The Builders’ Ball charity fundraiser was started
in 1996 through the WBC Foundation and has grown into the premiere
charitable event for the entire industry.
