The American Subcontractors Association amplifies the voice of the subcontractors and suppliers, to ensure that their interests are represented in the construction industry. The ideals and beliefs of ASA are ethical & equitable business practices, quality construction, a safe and healthy work environment, integrity & membership diversity. ASA has been the advocate of prompt payment, prohibitions of pay-if-paid clauses, limitations on retainage, and other critical policy reforms. ASA's achievements this year, lobbying on key federal issues like federal funding for construction, safety rules, contract terms, and winning court cases using our Subcontractors Legal Defense Fund. As the construction industry tries to mount a recovery, one fact remains certain: ASA will continue to help subcontractors survive and ultimately thrive. No other association - national, statewide or local, provides you with so much return from your investment.
