How does it benefit me to work with other local builders who may be my competitors?

CBUSA brings together the best builders in a market in order to drive down pricing, improve service levels and protect them from price increases.

CBUSA is a network of builders who work together – without sharing financials – to strengthen their bottom lines tremendously. As a group, you’ll learn from each other, share best practices and collectively ensure success for each individual business.

Will being a member take a lot of time?

No. CBUSA is designed to save you time through more efficient purchasing.

Your chapter’s monthly membership meetings are planned well in advanced and designed to help develop cost savings programs specific to your market. While there is an upfront time investment to evolve elements of your purchasing process, the immediate- and long-term savings your company will experience is worth it.

a

Do I have to participate in all programs as a member?

No, CBUSA is a la carte. We will continue to bring you the best programs out there to save you money, but it’s your decision as to which cost savings opportunities you’d like to use.

a

What if I don’t use the specific brand you partner with?

That’s okay!! Let CBUSA run a comparison for you to show you how much you can save by switching to one of our Brand Partners. 

Your local chapter CBUSA Representatives will work with you to make the brand switch if it makes sense.

Elite builders like yourself have been switching to CBUSA Partner Brands for over a decade and never looking back because they increase bottom line savings, receive premier access to National Manufacturing Brand Representatives and have happy customers with quality homes.

a

Is there a fee?

Yes, we have a one-time registration fee and a monthly membership fee.

These fees enable our staff to manage Preferred Local Vendors and Brand Partners on your behalf. 

They also allow CBUSA to pursue new savings opportunities for our Member Network.
