The Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh’s primary purpose is the promotion of home ownership and the improvement of the residential building industry in our city.

Why Join the Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh?

The Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh (BAMP) offers homebuilders, remodelers, suppliers, and industry professionals the tools, connections, and advocacy they need to personally and professionally thrive. As a member, you gain a seat at the table where decisions are made, access to exclusive savings that directly impact your bottom line, and the opportunity to grow your network, your reputation, and your business. From policy influence and workforce development to cost-cutting programs and high-visibility marketing opportunities, BAMP is your competitive advantage in an ever-evolving marketplace.

Savings & Services

Membership includes exclusive access to discounts and rebate programs through NAHB National Partners, PBA State Partners, and Local Partners like:

• Business Savings Discounts at Lowe’s, UPS, Indeed.com, Intuit QuickBooks, Dell, T-Mobile, Ford Pro, Dodge Ram, Goodyear, and many more

These programs can save builders thousands of dollars annually—often much more than the cost of Annual Dues—making membership a financially smart business decision.

Advocacy for Housing

Perhaps the most powerful advantage is the collective advocacy voice that membership provides at the local, state, and national levels to protect your business interests by:

• Collective Influence on Legislation and Regulation that affects zoning, land development, building codes, permitting, labor, and environmental policies.
• Lobbying on your behalf with policymakers at the local city council, state legislature, and the federal level.
• Organizing Political Action Committees (PACs) to support pro-housing candidates who understand the needs of the industry.

Without this collective voice, individual builders often lack the leverage to impact policy decisions that can dramatically affect their projects and profitability.

Networking & Promotion

Being part of BAMP connects you with a broad network of industry peers, made up of builders, remodelers, suppliers, and a wide array of service providers. Events include:

• Annual Golf Outing, Cornhole Tournament, Steak & Lobster Fest, and regular Monthly Mixers, among others

Utilize the many events at your own pace to create ideal opportunities to forge new partnerships, generate referrals, and find subcontractors or vendors who understand the industry. For newer businesses or those expanding into a region, these connections are invaluable for gaining traction and establishing trust.
