Back in 2003, four friends with years of experience in building, woodworking, and timber framing became interested in the idea of starting a worker’s cooperative. In 2004, that idea became Bellingham Bay Builders. As a values-based company and a worker’s cooperative, BBB was founded to be more than a sum of its owners. It was founded to support its owners and future owners in their creative journey into building excellence and be an everlasting example of a business model that treats all its staff with the dignity and respect that we all deserve. Fast forward to 2019, we are now a company of 12, continuing to provide a path to business ownership for all of our dedicated future owners and enjoy the benefits of a dedicated community of craftsperson co-owners. High-performance building, with emphasis on healthy indoor air quality, energy efficiency, durability, sustainability, and comfort.
