The collective voice of California's Builders Exchanges
Eighteen regional Builders Exchanges and contractor associations, advancing the policy priorities that shape California's construction industry.
Local relationships. Statewide reach.
The laws and regulations that shape how contractors bid, build and hire are increasingly written in Sacramento. The strongest industry relationships are regional. CBA connects the two.
The Alliance is a coalition of California's regional Builders Exchanges and contractor associations. Each keeps its own members, programs and priorities. Through CBA, they share government-affairs capacity, policy intelligence and a coordinated voice with legislators and state agencies.
Member companies include general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, architects and engineers, from sole proprietors to firms with more than 1,000 employees.
