Our mission...

The CCB was created in 1971 with the primary purpose of protecting consumers who do business with construction contractors.  The CCB ensures that, to the extent possible, contractors comply with state laws and regulations regarding contracting, construction liens, construction, licensing, employment, workers’ compensation insurance, safety, paying taxes, obtaining permits, and following building codes.

IT Systems Developers/Programmers play a crucial role in supporting the mission and objectives of the CCB in Oregon.

User Experience: They enhance the online platforms that contractors and consumers use, improving accessibility and user experience. This supports the Board’s objective of          providing clear, accessible information and services.

Innovation: Their expertise allows the CCB to adopt new technologies and innovations, ensuring that the Board remains at the forefront of regulatory practices and can adapt to    changing industry needs.

In essence, IT Systems Developers/Programmers provide the technological backbone that enables the CCB to fulfill its mission effectively, ensuring a well-regulated construction industry in Oregon.
