 What our members are saying....

Allied Electric and Shareco Communications joined ASAWM because the time has come for all subcontractors and suppliers to join together to work on solutions to problems that are too large for individual company to solve. One-sided payment and contract terms and insurance issues are among the major issues we currently face.
Mike Powers
Allied Electric/Shareco

As subcontractors we form the largest group in any single building project. As individual contractors we have the least influence. Together, with ASA, we can affect positive change in an entire industry.
Jack Austhof
Sobie Company

When it comes to knowledge and skill of the masonry trade we feel we are on the cutting edge.
When it comes to knowing our legal rights and responsibilities we are on the bleeding edge.
We are looking to ASAWM to help us in these areas.

After being in business for over 30 years, I've found an association that can assist me in understanding the complex construction contracts of today, rather than the "hand shake" that we used to be able to use
