Who We Are + What We Do

The Midwest Builders Exchange (MBEX) is a nonprofit trade association with a mission of helping its members grow their businesses through the exchange of plans, the sharing of knowledge, and the creation of powerful industry connections.

MBEX has a vision of a vibrant and inclusive construction industry that collaboratively, safely, and sustainably builds Minnesota communities. Through its industry-leading digital plan room, MBEX creates efficiency in bidding for more than 4,500 projects annually.

Since 1888, our builders exchange has existed for the sole purpose of assisting our member companies and their employees via first, a physical plan room, and presently, an online plan room where our team of reporters share projects currently bidding in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin (yes, all five states and their projects are included with membership).

What Our Members Are Saying

The biggest benefit to being a MBEX member is the convenience of being able to come to the same place every day rather than driving hundreds of miles every week to various general contractor offices to do the same time. Being a member saves both time and money.


— Matt Packer, Hinrichs Estimating

The biggest benefit of partnering with MBEX has been the opportunity to meet a lot of new people. Some of it creates more work, some of it doesn't, but the relationships are long-lasting.


— Russ Reger, Dem-Con Companies LLC

I love how everyone at MBEX is both personable on the phone and in person at the exchange. The service is impeccable and the knowledge of the staff and how everything is run is wonderful. 


— Malia Oesterreich, R M S Rentals

I live and die by MBEX.
