Use this form to submit a construction project for underrepresented contractors to get more bids, increase diversity spend, and create change in Michigan.

Construction Allies in Action uses the Builders Exchange of Michigan‘s Private Planroom Plus to share project information and documents with our directory of DBE/MBE/WBE contractors. This allows underrepresented contractors to view documents for FREE, regardless of their BX Member status, as well as use built-in measuring and estimating tools.

Is your company interested in providing resources to underrepresented contractors? Contact us to inquire about being listed as a resource provider on our Resources page!
