[1] MBAKS was founded in 1909 by a group of Seattle builders who saw the need to promote and protect the viability of the housing industry.
Over its one-hundred years of operation, the association continues to take an active role in all facets of home construction in the Puget Sound region.
MBAKS has actively worked with local and state governments to develop laws to protect the environment while still providing attractive, affordable communities and homes for the families of the Puget Sound region.
MBAKS promotes continuing education to keep its membership current with the latest building innovations and safety procedures.
MBAKS has two charitable foundations: Master Builders Care Foundation, which supports community projects and groups offering transitional housing and shelters; and Master Builders Career Connection, which provides scholarships and training for the residential construction trades.
