Summary of Services Offered by the Builders Exchange of Rochester

Our Weekly Bulletin is a publication of current building information which is sent to all our members. It includes association news, future scheduled plans, detailed information of active plans in the office with planholders’ lists, and bid tabulations of post-bid projects.

This website offers an interactive Bulletin - list of plans, links to the details with bidders, downloadable addenda, and viewable blueprints and specs - all updated continuously. (please be aware that the links in each page above are just for show - they will not work). Drawings are available to view using OnCenter, Adobe Reader, IVS Pro, IVS Lite, and any other TIF Viewer on your computer. File types are PDF & TIF.

An annual membership directory is published with the list of members with contact/address/phone/fax, a classified listing by alphabetical description or CSI division for members only, other area exchanges, and architects/engineers who have sent us plans.

Our annual golf outing is held each year for members and their guests.
