Background
California Building Industry Association was a California-based 501(c)(6) of "homebuilders, trade contractors, architects, engineers, designers, suppliers and industry professionals in the home building, multi-family and mixed-use development markets."[2] CBIA was originally founded in 1943 and operated as a lobbying group until 1978, when the group reorganized and developed regional affiliates. The group helped to advocate for the building industry in the California legislature and supports or opposes ballot measures. CBIA has lobbied the California Energy Commission to lower new energy standards costs.
