The Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW) today inducted Tri-Cities builder Kyle LaPierre into the BIAW Hall of Fame, honoring his lifetime of dedication to the home building industry and commitment to his community.

A second-generation builder and vice president of LaPierre Enterprises, LaPierre continues a family tradition of excellence that began when his father, Duane LaPierre, started building in the Tri-Cities in 1959. Like his father, Duane LaPierre, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2003, Kyle has left an indelible mark on the industry.

“Kyle embodies everything the BIAW Hall of Fame stands for—leadership, service and lasting impact,” said BIAW Past President Bob Camp, who led the induction ceremony. “He’s helped shape BIAW into the respected, member-driven organization it is today.”

A steady hand in difficult times

LaPierre served as BIAW president in 2009, guiding the association through a challenging leadership transition. His clear vision and steady hand helped realign the organization’s focus and strengthen its foundation. A Life Director and Certified Builder, he’s also held roles as BIAW Treasurer, First Vice President and longtime member of the Bylaws & Nominations Committee.

A board member for the Home Builders Association of Tri-Cities for nearly 30 years, he’s served three terms as president. 

LaPierre is a Life Spike with more than 565 credits and has earned multiple honors including BIAW Builder of the Year (2008) and HBA of Tri-Cities Builder of the Year (2000, 2008, 2020).

A champion in his community

Beyond his professional achievements, he’s known for mentoring future industry leaders and championing causes in his community.

“From raising funds for the Wishing Star Foundation—often with the help of baby goats—to securing grants for medical equipment lending programs, Kyle gives generously of his time and heart,” Camp said. “He also volunteers with the Carson Kolzig Foundation, Kennewick School District, youth sports, and the juvenile justice system.

“Kyle’s contributions continue to shape lives across Washington, making him a worthy and respected addition to the BIAW Hall of Fame,” Camp said.
