BAMP (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 as the Home Builders Association of Allegheny County, it has grown to serve the home building and related industries throughout the metropolitan Pittsburgh region. BAMP was a founding member of a group of local area 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. With an eye toward its future, BAMP sponsors numerous NAHB Student Chapters operating in area career training schools. 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 its advocacy of safe and affordable housing as well as its educational and consumer awareness efforts in promotion of its professional members. BAMP is 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. BAMP hosts an annual Festival of Homes that showcases the latest residential communities and new homes in southwestern Pennsylvania as well as the prestigious Housing Excellence Awards, which serves to recognize the outstanding craftsmanship of building and remodeling professionals in the metropolitan Pittsburgh area. Similarly, it produces a programs recognizing the best in rental living through its Apartment Excellence Awards and The Washington County Home Show that is a one-stop shop for consumers to visit member builders, remodelers, product suppliers, home improvement contractors, and other valuable service providers who have the know-how and ability to serve consumer’s housing needs.
