THE BULGARIAN CONSTRUCTION CHAMBER

The Bulgarian Construction Chamber (BCC) is a legal person, established on the grounds of the Chamber of Builders Act. BCC is an independent, voluntary professional association and an official representative of Bulgarian construction companies with more than 2900 member-companies, including manufacturers of construction materials, non-governmental organizations, educational institutions, etc.
