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).

It's giving us access to a variety of ways to get our name out there whether it be through advertising, face to face events or other programs they have developed. 


— Joel Almquist, Scaffold Service

Part of being in business and developing a relationship is getting to know people outside of work... There are so many of our customers that also use this resource, so it's a good chance to be able to connect with them.

MBEX helps us to build relationships with others in the industry... which is great networking opportunity between subcontractors, generals and suppliers.
