The Santa Barbara Contractors Association is an active professional association representing the local construction industry. We host events on a monthly basis, uniting the community with construction industry professionals creatively to provide support, education, collaboration and engagement because we are stronger together.

The SBCA’s 15-member Board of Directors represents a cross-section of local business and construction industry leaders.

Your sponsorship helps us fund valuable educational programs, safety programs, California Statewide planroom, bidding project information, networking opportunities, industry legal and safety updates, group insurance and other related opportunities for the construction industry. We also cultivate interaction between the business and non-profit sectors through public awareness of civic groups and programs serving the construction industry and underprivileged in our community. By bringing people together, we provide financial assistance and support through volunteerism to many local organizations.
