Backbone. Industry. Labor. Trades.
Prove you're #1.
Every trade company says they're the best in the state. Nobody's ever had to back it up. BILT Games is where they do — trade against trade, crew against crew, city against city, until one team holds the trophy and the title that can't be argued with.
Coming 2027 · First city announced soon
The Why
Every truck says "#1." Every website says "the best in town." Nobody's ever proven it.
BILT Games is the championship that settles it. Real trade companies. Real crews. Real equipment. Judged by the people who've spent their whole careers doing the work — retired masters, inspectors, trade school heads. No participation trophies. No marketing spin. Just the field, the clock, and the standings.
And while the companies compete for the title, the event around them is a celebration of everyone who does this work — the ones who wire the schools, pave the roads, and show up before the sun does.
One trophy. One state. One #1.
A trophy that travels — engraved forever, held for a year, defended the next
The verified right to say "#1 [Trade] Company in [State], Proven at BILT" — on the truck, on the website, on every bid
Cash purses and tool packages by division
Bragging rights that actually mean something
Teams register by division — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, welding, concrete, landscaping, and more — and compete in timed, judged heats against the best crews in their trade.
Different trades take the field each day of the event, building toward a cross-trade final where division champions face off for the overall crown.
Retired masters, inspectors, and trade school leaders score every heat against a published rulebook. Every run is filmed. There's no arguing with the tape.
State champion first. National champion down the line, as BILT Games expands city to city.
Where the title gets settled. Live competition heats, the equipment rodeo, and a real home built by crews from every trade over the course of the event — keys handed to a local family who needs it.
The rigs, the tools, the trucks, and the companies that supply the trades. Demos, the truck show, and gear you'll never get your hands on anywhere else.
The heart of the grounds. The Story Booth, Legacy Row for retired tradespeople, the traveling signing beam, and a morning Repair Blitz that fixes homes for neighbors who need it.
Signing Day for students committing to the trades, the hiring hall, and the apprentice showdown — the next generation, on the same stage as the champions.
Enter your best crew. Compete for your state. Walk away with proof, not just a claim.
The best Saturday of the year. Food, music, a kids' zone, and your team's run up on the big screen.
Sign your future on our stage. Scholarships, tools, and a room full of people cheering for you.
Retired tradespeople take their seats on Legacy Row and get introduced by name. Your town remembers.
BILT Games travels city to city, and every stop is built with the city, not just in it. Host cities get a state championship for their trades, a home built and donated locally, a Signing Day for their students, national media attention, and a weekend of real economic impact. If you want your city on the route, we want to hear from you.
One tool brand. One truck brand. One software platform. One insurance partner. BILT Games partnerships are category-exclusive: when you're in, your competitors are not. Founding Partners lock their category for the life of the tour at founding pricing, with their brand woven into the competition, the broadcast, and every city stop.
