Building Advantage History
In 2003, union construction leaders in Southeast Wisconsin formed a workforce and management organization called the Construction Labor Management Council (CLMC). The council's mission was to foster excellence in construction and promote quality building.
Shortly after forming, the CLMC developed a campaign to market quality, union construction. This campaign became Building Advantage.
Today, Building Advantage represents more than 600 union contractors and 22,000 trades people in Southeast Wisconsin.
Building Advantage serves members and consumers in the following ways:
- Build relationships between the trades, contractors and customers
- Create opportunities for growth
- Resolve mutual concerns of contractors and craftworkers
- Market skilled trades
- Demonstrate the value of the construction industry in Southeastern Wisconsin
- Promote and protect the union construction ideals
