The Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh’s primary purpose is the promotion of home ownership and the improvement of the residential building industry in our city.

The Pennsylvania Builders Association (PBA) and PBA Workers’ Compensation Program

PBA is the unified voice for the home building industry and the housing consumer. PBA serves its members by providing proactive leadership on state regulatory and legislative issues and by offering services to its 35 local associations that enhance the professionalism of its members. PBA serves Pennsylvania communities and consumers through its efforts to protect homeownership rights and advocate for affordable housing options.

The PBA Workers’ Compensation Program is an alternative market program established by the Pennsylvania Builders Association in 1999 to help members leverage their group buying power to save on workers’ compensation costs. The program is only available to association members and since inception has grown to nearly 600 accounts with almost $9 million in premium volume.

PBA Workers’ Compensation program participants don’t:

• Experience large surprise audits
• Pay the same high work comp premium when business is slow
• Burden operating cash flow with a large down payment of premium

PBA helps businesses compete with the parallel pay® program offered, allowing members to pay insurance premiums as they go, automatically through payroll service or manually as they pay employees.
