About CBIA
The Voice of Housing in California
The California Building Industry Association is a statewide trade association representing more than 6,700 companies, including homebuilders, trade contractors, architects, engineers, designers, suppliers and other industry professionals. According to a recent study, the homebuilding industry contributes more than $60 billion a year to the state's economy and generates 525,000 jobs.
By advocating legislative and administrative reforms needed to provide quality, affordable housing for all Californians, CBIA is working to remove barriers to housing construction that have resulted in a housing shortfall that helps make California's urban areas the most expensive housing markets in the nation and threatens our state's future economic health.
Each year, CBIA presents PCBC® The Premier Building Show, the largest regional builders' show in the nation with attendance of nearly 30,000. Held annually at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, PCBC features an extensive display of product innovations from more than 600 of the industry's leading manufacturers and suppliers and a four-day educational conference with more than 60 keynotes, seminars and workshops in fields ranging from business strategies to marketing to product design to applied technology. PCBC 2008 was held June 24-27. To register or learn more, visit www.pcbc.com.
CBIA has a staff of 40 and is headquartered just two blocks from the State Capitol in Sacramento.
