Helping builders coast to coast

CBUSA establishes and maintains impressive local networks of professional builders, preferred local vendors and brand partners – like no other company does. We currently have chapters located in these areas, but we’re always continuing to expand.

Don’t see a chapter in your market?

Hear from some of our current CBUSA builder members about what it takes to start a successful chapter near you.

But don’t just take our word for it – see what our builder members have to say.

The most appealing thing is the accessibility to people on the manufacturing side that you won’t get anywhere else. I had dinner with the vice president of sales at Lennox. You just don’t have access like that as a small local builder without a CBUSA membership.

How I purchase with CBUSA is a game changer for my business. With the CBUSA website, I’m able to get access to CBUSA pricing immediately versus having to get actual quotes for multiple different vendors.

The founders of CBUSA really thought things out. They put the effort into staffing the company with good people. The support has been the key to success for this group. It’s what attracted me to the organization when I joined.
