CBUSA: Revolutionizing Home Building Collaboration

When it comes to custom home building in Minnesota, where innovation and collaboration are the cornerstones of success, it's essential to have partners who share your vision and dedication. One of these partners is CBUSA, a transformative force in the industry. Founded in 2004 by a group of forward-thinking custom and independent builders in Northern Virginia, CBUSA has since evolved into a powerhouse network of over 500 premier custom home builders across the nation.

Trade Partners Changing the Game

CBUSA began with a simple yet powerful idea: small and independent builders deserved the same buying power as their larger counterparts. Recognizing that strength lay in numbers, this group of builders came together, united by a shared belief that collaboration could lead to significant savings and improved quality and service. Their vision was clear: stop leaving money on the table and start working together to achieve more. Over the past two decades, CBUSA's remarkable business growth has brought this vision to life, expanding from one market in Northern Virginia to an impressive 36 markets nationwide.

How It Works

CBUSA's growth is a testament to the success of its builder member network. This network wields the combined purchasing volume and buying power of a large national builder, giving its members a significant advantage over their competitors. By collectively negotiating with vendors, distributors, and manufacturers on both local and national levels, CBUSA Builder Members can secure competitive pricing and exclusive deals giving them purchasing power that might otherwise be out of reach. CBUSA empowers its members to avoid missed opportunities, streamline negotiations, and grow their businesses. It's like having a valuable group of business partners!

Expanding Possibilities

CBUSA's expansion into new markets, such as Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a testament to the effectiveness of their business strategy model. By bringing together a group of local builders, CBUSA elevates their collective buying power, enabling them to strengthen relationships with vendors and manufacturers just as national builders do.

In an industry that is always evolving, CBUSA stands as a shining example of how innovation and collaboration can redefine success. With 750 Builders, 1300 vendors, and 25 National manufacturer partners, CBUSA is now the fifth-largest builder in the United States, helping builders all around the country become more profitable and getting more customers in their dream homes. Their approach is refreshingly modern, aligning with the changing attitudes of new generations in the industry.

Proud Partners

CBUSA's journey from a small group of builders in Northern Virginia to a nationwide force exemplifies the power of collaboration, innovation, and shared vision. We are proud to have CBUSA as a sponsor of the Curious Builder Podcast as they are at the forefront of transforming the way builders work together, ultimately benefiting builders, vendors, and homeowners alike.
