Education: We provide education that keeps your teams safe, certified, and ahead of the curve — from CPR and harassment prevention training to financial management and time-saving strategies. We’re here to ensure your employees are protected, prepared, and professional, which means your company operates with confidence.
Labor Relations: When it comes to labor relations, we do more than advise — we negotiate. Wage agreements and contract terms are handled on your behalf, giving our contractors a united voice that is stronger than any one company could have alone. We keep a close eye on industry trends and what’s working in other markets so that our contracts position you to win bids, retain talent, and remain competitive.
Legal Protection: While it’s rare, grievances and collection procedures can happen to anyone. We won’t leave you to navigate that often complex process on your own. From initial responses, negotiation of terms and the appeals process, we are right by your side. We can assist your HR and accounting departments to insure the best possible outcome for your business, which can often result in significant cost savings to you. Additionally, as Trustees for the pension and benefit funds, we protect your interests and advocate for you when challenges arise.
Networking: Membership in any trade association is about connections and opportunities. Our events bring mechanical contractors, general contractors, and suppliers together — opening doors for new work, stronger relationships, and sometimes even better pricing. And through your membership, you’re also part of CalSMACNA and National SMACNA, with access to technical expertise that supports both your field crews and design-build teams.
Membership isn’t just about resources — it’s about representation. With SMACNA, you have a seat at the table where decisions are made, trends are set, and standards are defined. You gain not only the training and tools to succeed, but also the advocacy and insight to thrive in an industry that’s always evolving.
SMACNA is more than an association. It’s your competitive advantage.
