LEED projects earn extra points
"Going Green." Paperless BXWA
System Part of Formula.

Members and guests of ASPE Chapter 45, including five from BXWA, were treated to a very informative dinner program February 20, that featured Craig Norsen of Seneca Group,  Jack Avery of Sellen Construction, Brad Pease, a LEED Consultant, Les Gerstmann of BLRB Architects, and Peter Dobrovolny of the City of Seattle.

The subject of earning extra point awards on LEED projects by implementing “green” processes was discussed, and not surprisingly, paperless services like ours at BXWA came up.  We were pleased by commentary that demonstrated how we do even more for our customers than save them money.

The “green” concept in these and other projects, both public and private, has been around quite a while, yet it has gained a lot of momentum in recent years.  Builders Exchange of Washington is pleased to offer services that support our customers' efforts to achieve “green” building status through paperless planning, while saving natural resources and cutting down on CO2 emissions.

Scott Becker appears on stage at Blue Man Concert

BXWA's chief software engineer, Scott Becker was grabbed by Blue Men at the January 27 Everett Events Center concert, and coaxed onto the stage in front of a packed house. The Blue Men wanted Scott to provide his credit card to make a phone call that was part of a skit, and, to the delight of nearly 8,000 fans, Scott played along with them.

The entire Builders Exchange of Washington staff wittnessed Scott's brush with fame, as they were attending the performance and dinner with BXWA President, Cheri French.
