Founded in 1912, The BBB goal is to foster a fair and effective marketplace, so that buyers and sellers can trust each other ("Start With Trust"). BBBs gather and report information on business reliability, alert the public to frauds against consumers and businesses, provide information on ethical business practices, and act as mutually trusted intermediaries between consumers and businesses to resolve disputes. News media frequently turn to the CBBB and local BBBs as expert sources of news about scams and consumer issues.





The Builders Association of the Twin Cities was founded in 1948 by a small group of builders. Their goal was to increase the professionalism and quality of the homebuilding industry.

Over the years the association has grown to include builders, remodelers, sub-contractors, suppliers, and other professionals who support the building industry. Members subscribe to a defined code of ethics, and all of our builders conform to Minimum Performance Standards for construction and business practices. All builder and remodeler members are licensed through the state of Minnesota and must comply with the rules, regulations, and continuing education requirements set by state statute.

Today, BATC presents the Parade of Homes Spring PreviewSM, Fall ShowcaseSM and EasyStreetSM as well as the Remodelers ShowcaseSM. We offer educational opportunities and public policy initiatives. Through our charity, the Builders Outreach Foundation, we are able to support projects that address the housing needs in inner city neighborhoods.
