Shaping A Safer Future Through Excellence, Integrity, and Forward-Thinking Education for New England Building Professionals.
For over 80 years, the Massachusetts Building Commissioners & Inspectors Association (MBCIA) has been dedicated to promoting public safety and professionalism in building inspection. Founded in 1939, MBCIA has become a cornerstone of the state's construction industry, advancing building officials' education, certification, and leadership.
Our Mission: We empower building professionals to safeguard the public’s health, safety, and welfare by providing up-to-date training, advocating for uniform code enforcement, and supporting continuous professional development. MBCIA works closely with design professionals, contractors, and local government officials to ensure that building codes are applied consistently across Massachusetts, enhancing the safety and integrity of the built environment.
A Vision for the Future: The MBCIA’s strategic vision is to elevate the role of building officials as trusted public safety leaders. We aim to ensure uniform code application, advocate for national model codes, and promote ongoing educational opportunities. Through fostering collaboration, we advance our mission to enhance building safety across all communities in Massachusetts.
A Rich History of Collaboration: From our founding in 1939 to our role in shaping the first statewide building code in 1976, MBCIA has been at the forefront of building safety. Our association was instrumental in forming the New England Building Officials Education Association (NEBOEA), providing comprehensive educational programs across the region. We’ve established a reputation for leadership, contributing to the development of national and international building codes.
Expanding Educational Opportunities: Education remains our cornerstone. We offer training for new and experienced building officials, provide scholarships, and host educational seminars through collaborations with organizations like the International Code Council (ICC). Through continuous learning, we equip officials with the knowledge needed to make informed, life-saving decisions that shape the future of our communities.
Looking Ahead: The MBCIA is committed to leading Massachusetts into the next era of building safety. We are constantly adapting to meet the evolving needs of the construction industry, and our members continue to drive positive change through education, leadership, and collaboration. Together, we will continue to set the standard for building inspection, ensuring public safety for generations to come.
