SOMERSET COUNTY BUILDERS ASSOCIATION – REPRESENTS QUALITY

WORKMANSHIP AND MEMBERSHIP

The Somerset County Builders Association (SCBA) is a nonprofit association representing the construction industry in our area.  In conjunction with 40 other local associations around the state, they make up the Pennsylvania Builders Association.

Together the 40 locals have 9,000 employer businesses working to assure you of high quality workmanship for your home or remodeling project.  Members do attend seminars throughout the year to ensure they are on the cutting end of technology and make sure the builders are in compliance of the building code guidelines. The association also has many associate member comprised of banks, realtors, material suppliers, a wide variety of trade contractors, and insurance agents, accountants, just to name a few, that support and keep our organization active.

The Somerset County Builders Association has been going against trend and making a great effort at increasing our membership base. Many local associations in the Pennsylvania Builders Association have shown declining membership in the past years.   If we do our part, we can help to reverse the trend statewide and strengthen our local’s position in the industry in Pennsylvania. 

We are also part of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The NHAB does the "heavy lifting" in building research for safer and more energy efficient homes. This information is passed along to our members as only one of the many benefits of our organization. NAHB & PBA both work very hard to look out for the best interest of the consumer as well as discussing onerous and excessive Governmental Regulations that tend to drive up the cost of housing and remodeling for our clients.

The SCBA is involved in the Scholarship Trust Fund.  This is an endowment trust for continuing education offered to area youths who are enrolled in the building industry field.  The Association will again be offering scholarships in 2011.   

The SCBA is a sponsor of the National Association Home Builders Student Chapter at the Somerset County Technological Center.  This program provides high school students with an opportunity to learn new skills, leadership opportunity and connect with industry business.

The Somerset County Builders Association is again looking to sponsor a Home Show in March of 2012.  The show will feature retail businesses, service providers and construction vendors
