Construction generates billions of dollars of revenue annually, but government generates countless laws and regulations complicating the business of construction. (ASA), is an IRS section 501(c)(6) non-profit, national, membership trade association with over 5,000 subcontractors, specialty trade contractors, suppliers and service providers serving the construction industry. Recognized as “The Voic
e of Arizona Subcontractors”, ASA is dedicated to improving the business environment for all segments of the construction industry through advocacy, leadership, education and networking. The ideals and beliefs of ASA are ethical and equitable business practices, quality construction, a safe and healthy work environment, integrity and membership diversity. As a subcontractor advocate, ASA works at both the Federal and State levels to make the changes necessary to protect subcontractor rights with regard to prompt pay, fair procurement policies, harmful indemnity clauses, retention practices, egregious and abusive contract terms, OSHA rules and economic and tax rules, just to name a few. Established in Arizona in 1984, ASA of Arizona membership provides opportunities for business development, education, information sharing, networking, and access to the latest trends in construction. Members are also service providers to the subcontracting community such as material suppliers, legal, financial and insurance firms, management and business consultants and more. ASA of Arizona members are both open shop and union, ranging in size from small private companies to large national firms.
