Owner Testimonials

The MBA's status as the preferred contractor in our region is just as evident today, where the MBA contractor accounts for over 80% of the commercial construction built in Western PA, as it was in 1886 when the MBA was established.

Please take a moment to read a sampling of what owners have said about their experience with the MBA contractor:

"The MBA's Construction Industry Evening of Excellence is the party of the year for our industry. I wouldn't miss it for the world."

“United States Steel Corporation’s ability to remain competitive in the global steel industry, and sustain the long term viability depends in great part on our ability to introduce new technology and invest capital in our operations. We are able to achieve these goals with our partnership with the Master Builders’ Association of Western Pennsylvania.”

Christopher Macianonio
General Manager
United States Steel Corporation

###

“Landau Building Company has been a tremendous ambassador of the Master Builders’ Association and the construction industry in general by always having their owners’ best interests at heart and they are trustworthy.”

Larry Garvin
Executive Director
Butler County Family YMCA

“It is truly a pleasure to work with a Master Builder contractor that shares an understanding of the goals of an owner and is willing to work to achieve our mission as the Massaro Corporation does. Working as a cohesive team with the architects and Massaro we were able to work through complex issues timely and efficiently to keep the project moving.”

David J. Swisher
Executive Director
Animal Friends

“The MBA contractor cooperated and acted as part of a team with the owner and the architect. Together, changes in scope were timely and problems were addressed as they occurred. Communication from all parties was excellent and given in a timely manner which allowed our project to stay on schedule. I cannot say enough about F.J. Busse and how lucky we were to have them on this project. If it had not been for their vision in foreseeing that they could still “make it happen”, I fear we would not have been successful in moving in to our newly renovated headquarters.”

Del F. Walker
Executive Director
Pittsburgh Builders Exchange

###

“A true testament to the Master Builders’ Association is its members being hired by repeat clients. I am pleased to have had positive experiences on past projects with numerous MBA contractors.”

Mark Dellana
Executive Vice President, Construction & Development

“Completing a project on time during one of the worst winters in recent history and minimizing inconveniences so as not to disrupt “business as usual” are indescribable accomplishments, due in no small part to the Volpatt Construction Company. As a proud member of the Master Builders Association, Volpatt displayed why the name MBA is synonymous with professionalism, quality, reliability and a good old-fashioned work ethic others would do well to emulate.”

Anthony M. Lombardi
President & CEO
Monongahela Valley Hospital

“The Morgan Management Company has been in business for over 50 years. We have had many experiences in the building business and our experience with MBA member Uhl Construction has been an overwhelmingly enjoyable one. I would highly recommend an MBA contractor to anyone that is looking for a competent, professional, organized firm to handle their building needs.”

William A. Morgan, Jr.
President
Morgan Management Company

“MBA Contractors have earned a reputation of achievement and excellence by satisfying owners with projects completed, like the world-class Water’s Edge at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. I have come to expect exceptional performance from the MBA Contractor and I know I won’t be let down.”

Dr. Barbara Baker
President & CEO
Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium
