Mission Statement
The New York Building Congress provides a unique forum to advance an industry-wide agenda that strengthens New York's built environment. It does so by facilitating the collaboration of diverse stakeholders and communities, with a focus on economic and infrastructure development, job creation and professional exchange.
On behalf of more than 550 constituent organizations comprising more than 250,000 skilled tradespeople and professionals, the Building Congress supports sound public policy, promotes productive capital spending, encourages public/private partnerships and evaluates the implementation of major government projects.
To foster relationships and cooperation, the Building Congress sponsors consensus-building activities and encourages a free exchange of ideas among leaders of industry associations, businesses and the public sector.
The Building Congress promotes competence and productivity in the workplace, with special emphasis on public service, teamwork and partnership with government. Members are encouraged to conduct business with honesty, integrity, and a spirit of fair competition.
