The Nevada Contractors Association (NCA) recently celebrated its 15-year anniversary milestone. Started in 1995, the Nevada Contractors Association has grown to become the largest signatory construction group in the state. The non-profit organization is dedicated to protecting and serving the construction industry, and insuring the rights of its members.

“The NCA was created by contractors for contractors,” says NCA founding Chairman Howdy Wells. “I’m proud to see the group grow and evolve over the last decade to become a prominent industry voice.”

Today, the association represents some of the oldest and largest contractors in Nevada. The NCA is committed to working closely with various government agencies and building trades in order to ensure a fair and level playing field is available within the industry.

The group offers numerous member services including labor representation, legislative lobbying, group self insurance and networking opportunities. The NCA additionally works toward building relationships with local governmental agencies, union trade leaders, state legislative lawmakers, and the state Governor’s Office, in order to protect member’s rights.

“NCA’s continued presence and leadership role has become more vital than ever,” says 2011 NCA Chairman Sean Stewart. “NCA and its members are proud to build the new schools, roads, buildings and homes that make Clark County a great place to live.”

Nevada was responsible for 227,000 direct and indirect jobs in 2007. Direct construction spending contributes $27 billion to Nevada’s coffer’s annually and accounts for 21% of its gross domestic product.
