1 Tap the power of your Industry
As an STA member, you have the power of your industry at your side, every day, on every job.

Business Practice Interchange. Many of our members call upon our Business Practice Interchange (BPI) to acquire confidential information about general contractors, construction managers, public agencies and builder-owners generally unavailable from any other source. The Business Practice Interchange among STA members is based on a simple principle - the subcontractors who have worked for the clients you are considering know more about their jobs then you do. They know how they run a job, how they treat a subcontractor and how they pay their bills. You can obtain this invaluable information with a simple telephone call to STA.

STA Umbrella Actions. STA members also benefit from the coordinated efforts of "Umbrella Actions" which help unpaid subcontractors and suppliers get paid on troubled private projects. On the public side, those subcontractors working for public agencies have the advantage of Government Agency Interaction which helps them in situations of delay and non-action in the processing of Notice of Direction and Change Orders.
