The Minnesota Building Movers Association is a group of licensed building movers working together on issues that affect the housemoving industry in Minnesota. The MBMA began in the mid-1970's when movers decided it was time to get together to represent their industry.

OUR GOALS:

  • To stimulate awareness of Building Moving as a safe, economical way of recycling building materials that would otherwise end up in Minnesota landfills.
  • To provide affordable housing for families in Minnesota.
  • To work with MNDOT and county personnel to preserve moving routes and address permitting concerns.
  • To educate the general public, media, elected officials, and other decision-makers about the benefits of recycling buildings.
  • To promote high standards of business ethics.
  • To provide members with better business methods and the exchange of ideas and information among building movers.



OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

  • -  Eliminated mileage limits on state permits for Building Movers.
  • -  Established a standardized moving contract available to all members.
