The Sarasota County School Board understands the importance of workforce training, and so do we at Gulf Coast Builders Exchange. Now in its third year, the Construction Technology Program at Riverview High School has been hugely successful. The School Board of Sarasota County reached out to GCBX members for support to help fund and create a new program, the Construction Trades Academy, to help meet workforce needs in the community. Our members stepped up with financial support to start the program. At GCBX we believe in building the future.

• Since 1952, the Gulf Coast Builders Exchange (GCBX) has been the premier trade association representing the Commercial Contracting Industry in the region.

• The regional Commercial Contracting Industry employs over 50,000 workers.

• 63% of our members/local businesses have been in business over 20 years, and 24% have been in business 11-20 years.

• We pride ourselves on leading by example - not just building with brick and mortar, but by building a stronger community.
