Builders Exchange of Michigan is a nonprofit organization dedicated to delivering accurate and timely reporting on commercial construction activity throughout Michigan. The organization recently became an official Partner of Michigan Construction.
Members of Builders Exchange receive statewide coverage of construction projects in Michigan that are in the planning and bidding phase, with full accessibility to a virtual planning room for their own projects. They also get access to vital information on construction trends, collaboration tools to streamline the estimating and bidding process, and even have the opportunity to attend networking events and special training courses.
Builders Exchange has a number of events coming up in early 2020.
