It is both what you know and who you know that counts.

As we move toward greater market, business, and technological sophistication, old maxims should be revisited. The landscape of our historically fragmented industry is influenced by factors never imagined even a decade ago. With this comes a responsibility for each business owner, manager, and employee to be far more aware, far more connected, and far more forward thinking than ever before.

The Building Congress & Exchange of Metropolitan, Baltimore, Inc., with approximately 350 member firms, serves as a meeting ground for Architects, Engineers, General Contractors, Subcontractors and support businesses. Our mission is to foster interaction among these disciplines by encouraging the exchange of ideas and information for the overall improvement of our industry. We are also active in the education of and service to members and to the community. In pursuing this mission, the “BC&E” provides one of the best business networking opportunities in the region.

So, welcome to the Building Congress & Exchange’s website. We trust that you will find our site both informative, as it describes the many programs developed in support of our mission, and useful as you strive to cultivate new business relationships.

Robert H. Stratemeyer, President
