On behalf of the Bitterroot Building Industry Association, 

Our local building industry is built on more than lumber, concrete, and steel—it is built on craftsmanship, integrity, and relationships. The professionals and businesses represented at this event are the people who design, build, improve, and maintain the places where our families live, work, and gather. Whether you are a homeowner planning a future project, a business owner looking for trusted partners, or a trade professional sharpening your craft, this Expo exists to connect you with the best our valley has to offer.

As we look ahead to the coming year, I am genuinely excited about the momentum within our industry. Innovation, collaboration, and a renewed focus on quality and professionalism are shaping how we build in Western Montana. The BBIA remains committed to supporting our members through education, advocacy, and community engagement—ensuring that our industry remains strong, skilled, and respected.

One of the highlights of our year will be the Tour of Homes this September. This event showcases the exceptional talent of our local builders, designers, and trades while giving the community an inside look at the craftsmanship and creativity happening right here at home. It is a celebration of quality construction and a reminder of the pride our members take in their work. I encourage everyone to mark their calendars and experience firsthand what makes building in the Bitterroot Valley special.

Thank you for supporting local businesses, skilled trades, and the people who make this industry thrive. I look forward to an exciting year ahead and to continuing the work of building a strong future for our community—together.

Sincerely,

Tyler Pigman
