Mission Statement
The Kitsap Building Association is an association of builders, subcontractors and related service providers representing the home building industry, its members and its consumers. The association provides information, education and services to the membership and a unified voice on legislative issues affecting the industry and the availability of safe and affordable housing for all.
The association seeks to:
- Provide sources of economic benefit to further enhance the success and stability of the member’s business.
- Remain the leading educators and facilitators of environmental awareness within our industry.
- Be recognized as an organization that promotes responsible use and management of natural resources.
- Remain a pro-active, positive influence in the legislative and regulatory arena.
As a member of the KBA you will have access to hundreds of other member companies. We encourage and promote members doing business with other members by holding events each month and throughout the year that foster those relationships. Visit the KBA Events & News section to see all the various events, activities, and committees meeting in the coming weeks.
In addition to the ongoing events like Builder Breakfast meetings, Spring and Fall socials, dinner events and others, each major event of the KBA has a planning committee: Builders Classic Golf Tournament, Annual Gala Dinner & Auction, Peninsula Home & Garden Expo. Contact the KBA for more details on how and why to get involved.
The KBA also has standing committees related to the important work of the Association and its members. They include the list that follows. Be sure to contact the KBA for more information:
KBA Developers Council – For our members in the land development industry (developers, real estate investors, engineers, land use attorneys, etc) the Developer’s Council is a long-standing, regular meeting of development professionals. Many of the successes the KBA has had on Kitsap area code-related concerns have been through the study and work of this group of knowledgeable professionals.
Membership Committee – Members are the heart of our association and in order to reach out to all the companies in Kitsap that would benefit from a KBA membership, the KBA has a group of volunteers that focus on just that. For those that are interested in networking, this is the committee for you! That cold call becomes much warmer when you’re able to speak peer-to-peer about the Kitsap Building Association.
Government Affairs – Each month the Government Affairs Committee meets on topics important to our members. Typical meetings include an elected official guest speaker, training information on how to use important government tools, like a Small Works Roster for finding jobs, and during the election season, this committee conducts interviews of candidates seeking elected office.
Members of the KBA have the buying power that comes from Association leverage.

Who wants to leave money on the table? Wouldn’t you rather get it back to spend as you wish? Members in the KBA can access a variety of “money back” programs.
Check them out here:
ROII Select – The BIAW Return on Industrial Insurance (R.O.I.I.® ) program, the largest retrospective ratings group in the state, provides member companies with several important advantages, including the possibility of getting some of the money you pay to Labor and Industries each year back in your pocket. Only companies that participate in a safety program and risk pool, like our R.O.I.I. program, can get a portion of their L&I premium back. To learn more visit www.biaw.com for additional details.
BIAW Rebates – The Member Rebate Program is an exciting program that can actually put money back into your pocket. Through this program, the country’s leading manufacturers pay rebates as their way of thanking our members for their loyalty to their products. You may already be utilizing many of these products, so why not get paid a rebate for something you’re already doing? You are not required to change how you do business; no receipts are required, and the claim form is easy to fill out and submit.
