Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh

The Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh (BAMP) is one of the oldest builders associations in the country. Founded in 1938 by a group of Pittsburgh-area home builders, it has grown to serve the home building and related industries throughout the metro-Pittsburgh region. BAMP was a founding member of a group of home-builder associations that established the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) in 1942 and the Pennsylvania Builders Association (PBA) in 1952. In further service to our members, BAMP established the Apartment Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh (AAMP) in 1974, which has become a successful expansion of BAMP members who work in the multi-family housing Industry. BAMP also has an active NAHB Remodeler’s Council that focuses on improving the profession of remodeling and education of home improvement contractors. Today, the non-profit trade organization is comprised nearly 600 businesses who strive to improve housing affordability, availability and choice, including homebuilders, remodelers, light-commercial contractors and associated businesses including suppliers, trade contractors, lenders, product manufacturers, utilities, realtors, and other licensed professionals including architects, engineers, and attorneys. Our association and affiliated organizations are recognized nationally for the advocacy of safe and affordable housing as well as its educational and consumer awareness efforts in promotion of its professional members. BAMP is also known for its strong voice and efforts in promoting public policies that have a positive impact on housing while actively opposing those that would harm housing businesses and home affordability. It ensures that its members are educated and updated on the latest housing trends and issues of the day, and produces several events to help consumers make enlightened decisions involving their housing needs and choices.
