Home Builder Purchasing Program
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Home Builder Purchasing Program?
 A program of the Master Builders Association to offer our members, regardless of size, significant discounts on a wide variety of products and services.
Similar to the success we've had with our Return on Industrial Insurance (ROII) and Health Insurance Trust programs, the Home Builder Purchasing Program pools the collective purchasing power of our members. This allows even our smallest member companies access to the best possible prices.
