3 in 1

When you join your local association, you automatically become a full member at the state and national level. That’s three memberships for the price of one.

Political Advocacy

Government Affairs staff monitor legislative and legal issues that affect the building industry at the state capitol. They work to give members a unified, strong voice directly to state lawmakers in order to defeat excessive regulations and defend affordable housing initiatives.

Legal & Building Code Hotline

As part of your exclusive WBA member benefit, WBA is now providing members a means to get legal information and education about building-related issues as well as answers to questions about building codes and ordinances.

Insurance

By being in LABA you have access to insurance services through WBA Insurance Services. Health, life, disability, and voluntary benefits insurance plans available to members, their employees and their families provide quality that responds to the needs of individual groups.

Business Forms and Industry Standards

As part of your LABA membership you have access to the WBA Home Construction Contract which is the latest industry standard available to members for no charge! Other business tools include Change Orders, Specification List, Warranty Document, Sub Contractor Agreement and more.

Member Referrals

Doing business with a member is always encouraged!  Member-only referrals when the public or media calls the LABA office seeking builders, remodelers or other services.

Publications

Stay on top of legislative calls to action, industry news and the activities of both the state and local associations through our monthly newsletter, blog and facebook plus the Wisconsin Building News e-newsletter, our bi-monthly magazine the Badger Builder and following WBA on Twitter, Facebook and Linked In.  NAHB also offers many publications at your disposal.
