Why Do Business With A Member of the Builders Association?
Sometimes people wonder why the BANWPA is always telling citizens of Erie to ‘Do Business With A Member’. There are many reasons, but we’ve outlined a few of the top reasons below.
Why Trust Google When You Can Trust a Local Resource Like the Builders Association?!
The fact of the matter is that being at the top of a search engine result page DOES NOT mean a business is reputable. It just means that this business is the best at search engine marketing. So if you are looking for a reputable home builder, contractor, remodeler or the like – then call the Builders Association of NWPA today! We can be reached at 814-833-3999 anytime Monday through Friday during business hours (8:00 am-4:00 pm). We are here for the public!

That’s right – just for living here in Erie & Crawford Counties, you can contact the Builders Association any time and have our staff listen to your needs and recommend a few different providers. Are you interested in remodeling your kitchen or bathroom? How about a new roof? Well, before you just call the first name you see – give the BA a call and get a list of recommended providers!
Members Sign the Association’s Code of Ethics
The purpose of the Code of Ethics is to ensure a high level of honesty and fair business practices among association members. Members agree to strive to meet the following ideals: honesty, fairness, laws, insurance, safety, design, quality, professionalism, scheduling, warranty, payment and opportunity. Not every contractor out there agrees to uphold these ideals! It’s best to choose a certified member instead of just picking from the biggest ad in the phone book. There is no cost to you, so pick up the phone and give us a call today.
Contractor Quality Commitment Standards
The Contractor Quality Commitment (CQC) program was developed by the small contractors committee of the Pennsylvania Builders Association to provide a program of positive support to the construction industry. The program provides for three phases: 1) to establish criteria for membership, 2) to develop and enforce standards of excellence for reputable contractors, and 3) to educate the general public regarding the benefits of receiving services from reputable contractors. The BA has developed a local CQC program that identifies acceptable levels of industry professionalism, establishes a screening procedure for new and existing members and provides a method for handling consumer complaints.
References Checked
Each individual or business applying for membership with the Builders Association of NWPA needs to provide references. Depending on the status of your application, Builder Membership or Associate Membership determines the type of references that are necessary.
Proof of Insurance
Each member of the Association must provide a current insurance certificate with the Builders Association of NWPA listed as the certificate holder on an annual basis showing proof of general liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance.
Informed on Legislation
As the housing industry continues to change and improve at a fast pace, the local, state and national levels of the Builders Association keep our members informed on the most up-to-date information.
