About the Chapter

The American Subcontractors Association is a non-profit trade association representing subcontractors, specialty trade contractors and suppliers - the heartbeat of the construction industry.

ASA members work in the electrical, mechanical, drywall, plaster, steel, masonry, concrete, plumbing, roofing, excavation and nearly every other specialty trade in the construction industry. Members are also suppliers to the construction industry such as insurance, consulting, and materials, - almost every construction industry need is offered through members.

The association strives to inform building owners, financial representatives, government officials and others of the fact that more than 80 percent of all industrial and commercial construction is performed by subcontractors. It also emphasizes needed reforms on such issues as prompt payment, retainage, surety bonding, lien rights, bidding practices and entitlement to payment.

ASA is the only construction association that concentrates exclusively on the business issues affecting all subcontractors and specialty trade contractors.
