About Us
The Saskatoon Construction Association is a non-profit organization with a mandate to provide tendering, education and networking opportunities to over 575 members active in the commercial construction industry in our province. Our association has proudly been serving the commercial, industrial, and institutional construction industry in Saskatchewan since 1931.
We have proudly revamped our partnership with the Saskatchewan Construction Association (SKCA), Prince Albert Construction Association (PACA), Regina Construction Association (RCA), and the Moose Jaw Construction Association (MJCA). We have further aligned our practices to reduce duplication, increase efficiency and ultimately increase your value for membership.
Mission
The SCA is a professional association of over 400-member companies throughout the Saskatoon region.
We provide members with leading-edge services and opportunities to advance the industry’s development, advocate for the industry, for professional development and to develop industry relationships.
What We Do
BuildWorks
Through a BuildWorks subscription, members can access up-to-date tendering and construction opportunities, which we work hard to actively seek out and maintain the most up-to-date projects commercial construction projects. Last year the association provided members with over 2161 projects through this program.
In addition to current projects, we are currently redeveloping information we are able to provide our members on Pre-Bid projects, so that organizations are prepared for these jobs once they come to tender or if they are procured in alternative ways. In 2018 we entered into a partnership with Construction Associations in Alberta & Manitoba to improve this service even further for our members.
Education & Networking Events
The Association’s education and events are strategically targeted to member and industry needs and are some of the top opportunities for individuals and organizations in commercial construction to build their skills and networks. Our events are exclusive to members, ensuring that you're connecting with the right people. Our courses directly relate to industry skills and are instructed by respected industry professionals through a construction-focused lens.
Advocacy
Through years of collaboration, our Association is proud to have a close relationship with municipal governments which allows us to collaborate with them on issues important to the industry. Examples of local advocacy efforts include Building Permit Timelines, Right of Way Permits and Water Retention Changes. In addition to local advocacy, integrated membership with the Saskatchewan and Canadian Construction Associations provide members with a collective voice for issues pertaining to the construction industry at the provincial and national levels and work towards change for a better industry overall.
