Anyone who pays for the license and bond are qualified, no test or education needed to build or remodel your home. BIAW believes you should have a contractor you can trust and created the Certified Builder designation.

More than a Dwelling

We Measure Up

By hiring a Certified Builder, you are getting a vetted contractor required to complete education, provide multiple references from both employees and clients. Certified Builders reach higher and work harder to ensure your house is more than just a dwelling, it’s your home.
