Building a Legacy: The Story of BAMP

Since 1938, the Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh (BAMP) has been the trusted voice of the homebuilding industry across Western Pennsylvania. Founded by industry pioneer Steve Kovac and a small group of determined home builders, BAMP began as the Home Builders Association of Allegheny County—created at a time when the nation faced economic uncertainty, looming war, and fears of government control over residential construction.

Kovac and the early leaders understood the role housing plays in strengthening communities and growing the American economy. They united around a simple but powerful idea: that builders needed a strong, collective voice to protect the American Dream of homeownership and ensure the industry’s future success.

Continuing the Legacy

Today, BAMP proudly continues to grow and inspire the industry. With nearly 400 member businesses, we are recognized nationally for our government affairs leadership, educational programs, member savings value, industry networking, and commitment to advancing homeownership. Our members include generations of builders, remodelers, and trade professionals who are passionate about building strong communities and promoting the industry’s growth.

Through every economic high and low, BAMP has remained a resilient force—fighting for housing affordability, supporting workforce development, and standing up for the builders who shape our neighborhoods. We don’t just represent an industry; we build the future, one home and one generation at a time.
