The NAHB Member Savings Advantage

Through NAHB's immense national purchasing power, members gain exclusive access to the NAHB Member Savings Program. By taking advantage of pre-negotiated discounts on fleet vehicles, fuel, building supplies, wireless plans, shipping, and business technology, the annual savings our members receive frequently exceed the entire cost of their ABA membership dues.

At the state level, your membership links you directly to the Builders Association of Minnesota (BAM). Since 1974, BAM has served as the unified voice for residential builders, remodelers, and trade partners at the Minnesota State Capitol, before regulatory agencies, and in state courts.

• Legislative Watchdog: BAM actively monitors state legislation in St. Paul, fighting for common-sense laws and stopping harmful regulations, fee increases, or mandates that raise the cost of housing.

• Legal & Regulatory Defense: BAM protects member interests in major court cases, regulatory disputes, and independent contractor compliance issues affecting the residential construction sector.

• Statewide Network: Connect with over 11 local associations across Minnesota to share best practices, safety protocols, and industry trends.
