After two short years of the Fox Valley Builders Exchanges’ online planroom success they quickly learned that there was growing need for a statewide internet planroom, and that was when Builders Exchange of WI was incorporated. Other Exchanges in WI became affiliated with BXWI and Amy worked closely with them to make sure all projects possible were being reported quickly and accurately.
