History

 

Founded in 1969, NFBA began when a group of Midwestern builders united to protect the future of post-frame construction amid changing building codes.

Through collaboration with engineers and industry leaders, NFBA helped establish post-frame construction as a viable solution for commercial and industrial applications.

Today, NFBA continues to advocate for the industry through research, education, and code development.
