ABOUT US

Welcome to PBDG. Our mission is to advocate for equity and inclusion in the construction industry and mentor and provide critical resources to minority and disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE). At PBDG, we believe in building more than structures; we're committed to building opportunities for those who have historically been sidelined in our field.

Our members are skilled experts in every trade and phase of the construction process. We strive to provide robust advocacy and networking opportunities, ensuring our members can secure job opportunities and thrive in competitive markets. More than just focusing on design, demolition, and development, our core philosophy centers around the people who construct an industry. For too long, minorities have faced significant barriers to entry and success in construction—challenges compounded by discrimination and inequitable practices. PBDG exists to tear down these barriers and pave a new path forward.

We offer a suite of services designed to empower our members, from training in the latest industry techniques to ongoing technical assistance, ensuring they are equipped to succeed. Beyond skill-building, we actively participate in advocacy efforts, pushing for systemic changes at local, state, and federal levels to foster an inclusive environment where our members can find real and lasting success.

Our industry provides more than just jobs; it offers paths to ownership and financial independence through living-wage opportunities accessible to individuals with or without college degrees. By focusing on access to job opportunities, learning, and mentorship, we aim to enhance the health and success of our members' businesses, addressing historical inequities and promoting economic and social justice.

Together with our members and partners, PBDG is changing the narrative of the construction industry. We invite you to join us in this transformative journey as we shape the future of construction, ensuring it is as diverse and dynamic as the communities we serve. Join us at the forefront of change—help us set a new standard for what the construction industry can become.
