DCA’S PROUD HISTORY
The Delaware Contractors Association (DCA) was created in 1969 with the merger of two of Delaware’s most respected construction trade associations, the Allied Industries of Delaware (1932) and the Delaware Chapter of the Associated General Contractors of America (1934).
DCA is an association made up of general and subcontractors involved in heavy, highway, commercial, industrial and utility construction, as well as suppliers of goods and services to the construction industry. DCA’s membership includes allied and merit shop firms of all sizes, companies spanning multiple generations and those new to the construction community. DCA is a nonprofit organization run by a Board of Directors, elected annually by the membership. An Executive Committee and officers are elected from within the board. The Association is organized to bring a voice
of strength and unity to the construction industry in Delaware, while holding a commitment to excellence.
The Association is dedicated to serving the needs of the construction community through communication, leadership, government and public relations, education, workforce development, training and networking opportunities. DCA keeps its members closely apprised
of industry issues and governmental matters. Information bulletins are regularly published in the DCA Punch List and on its website, www.dca.build.
The Association maintains an effective and viable rapport with state, county, local and federal governmental officials in both the executive and legislative branches. All recognize DCA for its leadership and contributions to the development of government policy.
DCA’s offices are at the intersection of Del. 4 and Del. 7 in the Churchmans Crossing area of suburban New Castle County
in a facility that offers a large boardroom, a well-equipped classroom and visitors’ offices for its members’ use.
