LOOKING BACK ON AND CELEBRATING ASSOCIATION ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2022
From supply chain challenges and increased material costs to labor shortages and an unpredictable economy, the Builders Association of Greater Indianapolis and its members worked diligently to adapt to an everchanging world. We have battled through many challenges and hardships, but we have also celebrated great victories and accomplishments including:
