The Builders Exchange of Iron Mountain-Kingsford (BX) has been the major clearing-house for commercial and industrial construction projects out for bid in the area since 1960. Working in cooperation with the Dickinson Area Chamber of Commerce, the BX functions as a professional network for close to 100 companies involved in the construction, landscaping, architectural, engineering and many other industries from all over the Upper Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin. The purpose of the organization is to encourage the economic growth of our community. Local construction projects are kept local by providing  projects to members as soon as they are released.  The main purposes of the Exchange are:

• To provide a weekly newsletter (bid list) and daily updates to members with plans and specs as available 
• To provide a contractor directory of all members 
• To provide a physical Plan Room for member and public use.
• To provide an online Plan Room that offers members access to project files from any device. This is a member-exclusive feature.
• To provide copying, printing, scanning, & emailing services from internet plan rooms, thumb drives, documents emailed to the BX and hard copies.  These services are available for nominal fee to the public, and discounted rates to members.
