Master Builder Designation Program

A key component of facilitating MBI’s mission to be the essential resource for improving member performance and promoting a business environment favorable to the construction industry, is our education and training opportunities. MBI members have long understood the value of making sure that they and their employees are continually engaged in learning in order to remain high performing organizations.

In an effort to recognize individuals in the industry who believe in the importance of life-long learning and have demonstrated their desire for personal growth through their participation in the wide array of education and training activities offered by MBI, we established the Master Builder Designation Program. This program recognizes those individuals who have demonstrated a work history in the commercial construction industry and have been an active participant in the education and training offerings of MBI.

MBI has worked with designers and artists to create a unique Master Builder Achievement Award for those individuals who accomplish the goal 150 Master Builder Designation credits while reaching the required minimum each category listed in the diagram below.
