Who Belongs to BCA and Why?
In 2007 BCA membership stood at an all-time record high level of 258 companies.
This group of professionals includes general and specialty trade contractors,
both open shop and signatory. Architects, engineers, geotechnical consultants,
surveyors and others are included under their own professional category. Material
supplier and associate members -- insurance brokers, attorneys, CPA’s, equipment
and product suppliers and other specialists -- fill the ranks.
The BCA understands the symbiosis necessary for executing owners’ commissions.
BCA understands it takes more than contractors. It takes designers, vendors,
government and many others to be successful. And this is whom the BCA serves –
the whole group of professionals who have a part in taking a building project
from concept to completion.
BCA allows collaboration in a genuinely non-competitive environment for everyone
involved in erecting nonresidential buildings and infrastructure of Northeast
Indiana. Economic development, workforce development, safety training, legislative
issues and local governmental interaction are long standing committees that have
done real time improvements to the system over the years.
BCA lobbies legislators to keep money focused in northeast Indiana. BCA financially
supports the Fort Wayne-Allen County Economic Development Alliance. We have broadened
our reach regionally by investing in the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership, which
includes several regional local economical development organizations [LEDO’s]. BCA
has had a part in streamlining the routing process with Fort Wayne. BCA is involved
in work addressing a variety of subjects important to a profitable business climate
for its members and the community they live and work in.
