What Our Members Are Saying

MBEX has given us another tool to market our company, to chase jobs, to track jobs, to network-- to basically put our company out there to expand our growth in the industry.

— Kyle Larson, Golden Valley Supply Co

I love how everyone at MBEX is both personable on the phone and in person at the exchange. The service is impeccable and the knowledge of the staff and how everything is run is wonderful.

— Malia Oesterreich, R M S Rentals

Having services frees us up to do other things like manage our business and bid more work. At the end of the day, it's all about money going out and money coming in and the builders exchange helps us save money.

— Heather Grazzini-Sims, Carciofini Company

The biggest benefit to being a MBEX member is the convenience of being able to come to the same place every day rather than driving hundreds of miles every week to various general contractor offices to do the same time. Being a member saves both time and money.

— Matt Packer, Hinrichs Estimating
