Permian Basin Builders Association

What Permian Basin Builders Association does

The Permian Basin Builders Association (PBBA) is a nonprofit trade association headquartered in Midland, Texas, serving homebuilders, remodelers, land developers, trade contractors, and allied professionals across the Permian Basin region of West Texas. The association operates on a tiered annual membership model — Builder ($699), Associate ($699), and Affiliate ($250) — that bundles access to networking events (Parade of Homes, golf tournaments, clay shoots), a corporate business directory, a member discounts program, a job board, a document resource center, and political advocacy through the Texas Association of Builders (TAB). TAB affiliation extends PBBA members into a statewide network of roughly 10,000 Texas builders and 140,000+ nationally, plus direct lobbying representation at the Texas Capitol and contribution pathways to the HOMEPAC political action committee.

Operationally, PBBA runs on the GlueUp association management platform, which handles membership applications, event registration, newsletter distribution, and calendar integrations (Google, Yahoo, Outlook, ICS). A GlueUp-powered mobile app extends the membership experience to iOS and Android. Marketing and member acquisition rely on a community-led motion: a website (pbbatexas.org), Facebook and Instagram presence, an email newsletter, and in-person events. The association is governed by a Board of Directors and is supported by tiered event sponsorships, including Betenbough as a Capstone Partner and West Texas Abstract as a Keystone Partner. No AI, advanced technology, or external funding is associated with the organization.
