Welcome to Connecticut Building Congress

The Connecticut Building Congress creates a forum for building professionals to connect, learn, and grow. Since 1952 CBC has been Connecticut's premier organization whose mission is to provide a collaborative environment that fosters relationships and contributes to the growth and success of the construction industry.

Join us at our next event as we add to our long history of shaping the industry.

The Connecticut Building Congress (CBC) was formed in 1952 by prominent leaders of the construction industry. See our list of prestigious CBC Past Presidents. Now, more than 60 years later, the Congress is Connecticut's premier networking organization encompassing owners, engineers, architects, attorneys, general contractors, developers, cost consultants, subcontractors, suppliers, testing laboratories, etc.

We hope you will consider joining CBC. Our monthly dinner meetings with informative speakers give you the opportunity to discuss your mutual interests and business challenges in an informal social atmosphere with other members. Our Industry Practices Committee works to propose solutions to the problems facing all of us. CBC is particularly proud of its Scholarship Fund for young people in Connecticut who wish to pursue a higher education related to the building industry.

Becoming a member of the Connecticut Building Congress means you will have access to information and people that could be vital to your business. It also means becoming part of a prestigious team-the Construction Industry team.

CBC is an active organization with representatives from every facet of the building industry-architects, engineers, owners, attorneys, bankers, contractors, developers, consultants, and suppliers-meeting monthly with keynote speakers in an informal atmosphere to discuss mutual interests, share business information and leads, and learn about events that shape our industry.

Community Outreach

Each year, CBC awards scholarships to deserving high school seniors who represent the future of our industry. The CBC Scholarship Fund grants scholarships of up to $2,000 per year to college students studying in areas of benefit to the construction industry, including architecture, engineering, construction management, and construction technology.

Special CBC events such as the annual Robert J. LeFloch Memorial Golf Outing in the Fall help fund these scholarships.
