Meet The Generals & MWBE Event
March 2026 Presented by: C&S Companies The evolution of technology has been widely accepted by construction employers, evident by the estimating software programs, electronic plan rooms, email, project management software and general electronic dissemination of project bidding information. Such technology has led to a more efficient and productive workforce, capable of multi-tasking and organizing a variety of activities, projects and other events via a computer, smart phone or tablet while at home, at the office or at the job site. In March of each year Syracuse Builders Exchange holds a networking event which brings our members back to a time where the personal interaction between project managers, general contractors and/or construction managers and subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers’ representatives interact on a personal level, communicating one-on-one, face to face and with a hand shake.
