Whilst a number of local building contractors got together during 1946, the association was only formally established in 1948 with a registered constitution and an elected Executive Committee. Over the past 64 years the association grew in stature and currently has over 200 members from most of the disciplines in the building industry. The full-time office is manned by five employees. A variety of services are provided to members and the main objective is to look after their interests and provide them with the necessary information to operate their businesses successfully.
