Where Elite Builders Build Each Other
A peer alliance for contractors and trade leaders committed to excellence, accountability, and success.
It’s where proven operators find peers who challenge them to think sharper, lead stronger, and live better.
The Story
After more than a decade leading combat engineer units in the U.S. Army, Jim Nola felt the loss of something essential — the camaraderie and accountability of an elite team.
When he moved into executive construction leadership, he saw how often top builders lead alone. The responsibility is heavy. The expectations are high.
He founded the Built Contractor Alliance to close that gap — a trusted circle that brings the same discipline, trust, and precision that drive the best military and construction teams.

The Mission

Members share insight, compare results, and sharpen one another through real experience.
This isn’t networking. It’s accountability with outcomes — stronger teams, smarter execution, lasting impact.
