Construction subcontracting is a challenging industry to be in. While successfully going it alone is certainly possible, business-savvy subcontractors choose to join forces to protect their unique interests and strengthen their position. Strength, as the saying goes, is in numbers. San Diego ASA is the association of choice for these subcontractors. We are their unified voice before state and local elected officials and the myriad public agencies that purchase construction services. We broaden their sphere of influence with industry partners such as general contractors, architects, and owners. We support their need to continually hone their technical expertise via educational and training workshops in subjects ranging from work in progress, mechanics liens, and indemnity to safety, negotiating change orders, and prevailing wage. We serve as a community and construction-industry resource, donating goods and services to a variety of worthwhile causes. San Diego ASA helps its members grow their businesses by providing a diverse array of networking opportunities. Our General Contractor & Public Agency Showcase, Fall Golf Classic, Industry Partners Quarterly Meetings, S***t Shoot, and Annual Holiday Mixer are instant sell-out hits. We also promote our individual member businesses at www.sandiegoasa.org, in our quarterly newsletter, “Just Briefly,” on this page, and in industry publications such as “Contractor News & Views.”
