Who We Are + What We Do

The Minnesota 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.

The Exchange has a vision of a vibrant and including construction industry that collaboratively, safely and sustainable builds Minnesota communities. Through its industry-leading digital plan room, the Exchange creates efficiency in bidding for more than 4,000 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 (and yes, all five states and their projects are included with membership).

What Our Members Are Saying

I have used the MBEX online service for quite some time and find it to be an invaluable asset. Plans and specifications are promptly downloaded and easily accessible.


— George Podrug, Superior Crane Corp

MBEX has given us another tool to market our company, to chase jobs, to track jobs, to network-- to basically put our company out there to expand our growth in the industry.


— Kyle Larson, Golden Valley Supply Co

Having services frees us up to do other things like manage our business and bid more work. At the end of the day, it's all about money going out and money coming in and the builders exchange helps us save money. 


— Heather Grazzini-Sims, Carciofini Company

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.
