The Cleveland Building & Construction Trades Council is the umbrella organization for more than 29-member local unions working in the construction industry in the Greater Cleveland region.

Our affiliated unions represent more than 10,000 highly-skilled and highly-trained craftworkers working with developers, building owners contractors and individuals who rely on a productive and professional workforce. 

Our members train through rigorous apprenticeship programs that prepare them for any project. For over 100 years, we have been the foundation of the construction industry throughout Northeast Ohio. 

The Cleveland Building & Construction Trades Council is committed to the principles: performance, cooperation and partnership.

We are committed to getting the job done, with an inclusive, diverse workforce through initiatives like our Diversity and Inclusion Program. The Cleveland Building & Construction Trades Council is community-minded, building communities through in-kind contributions of labor and materials, as well as through significant financial contributions to nonprofits helping restore and revitalize neighborhoods.

The leaders of our Local Unions are well respected in the community and often sit on corporate and non-profit boards throughout the region. Take a look at the Cleveland architecture and chances are, you will see our work.
