Three Associations to serve you
Membership in the Building Industry Association includes membership in its two affiliated organizations, the Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). You receive publications and member benefits from all three Associations.
The BIAW exists to unite those in the building industry in Washington State in their fight against a government that has made this industry the most regulated in the nation. BIAW also offers a variety of programs and services including return on industrial insurance, health insurance, legal, and safety assistance and education programs. BIAW represents over 10,000 companies in the home building industry in Washington State.
The NAHB is a federation of 830 state and local associations representing more than 211,000 building industry professionals. NAHB's mission is to enhance the climate for housing and the building industry, and to promote policies that keep housing a national priority. Founded in 1942 and headquartered in Washington, DC, NAHB has grown to become the most influential housing industry trade association in the world.
