Membership makes sense

PBA is the voice of the Pennsylvania housing industry and represents members involved in all aspects of home building and remodeling. Standing together, our members are a powerful force for keeping housing a priority in Pennsylvania. When you join a local builders association, you automatically become a full member of both the Pennsylvania Builders Association and the National Association of Home Builders. That’s three memberships for the price of one.

PBA is here to help you make the most of your member dues. PBA offers a myriad of benefits that help productivity, cut business expenses and educate you on new laws, trends and technology.

PBA's Benefits Guide walks you through most of our membership benefits. To view this guide, click the image below and flip through the eight pages of benefits you receive as an association member.
