Corb Architectural Design, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 2,344 heated and cooled square feet of quality craftsmanship and collaboration from BBIA members and partners.

2026 BBIA Scholarship Home

The Bay Building Industries Association (BBIA) is proud to once again bring our community together through the 2026 BBIA Scholarship Home—a project built with purpose, collaboration, and a commitment to the future of our local building industry.

Each year, the Scholarship Home Program allows BBIA to reinvest directly into education, workforce development, and the next generation of skilled professionals by turning craftsmanship into opportunity.

Building the Future, One Home at a Time

Thanks to the generosity of BBIA builders, trades, vendors, and community partners, BBIA has awarded more than $187,000 in scholarships to over 200 students pursuing careers in construction, the trades, and related fields.

Proceeds from the sale of the Scholarship Home go directly back into these scholarship and workforce initiatives—making this home more than a showcase, but a true investment in our community’s future.
