Why SECA? The concept is not new. There are many other industry organizations, peer groups and associations. Unfortunately, many of them want to be all things to all people. If that is what you are looking for, then SECA is not for you.

SECA focuses on the most important resource in our industry: Labor. All SECA resources are utilized to provide and support services that are designed to help our Contractor members provide labor at a competitive rate. Labor represents both risk and reward. Total labor cost is a function of productivity (hours) and unit cost (burdened rate). SECA seeks to provide educational tools, information, opportunities and resources to help maximize member efforts to negotiate a competitive rate and provide a vehicle for a labor relationship that promotes productivity.

If you want political action, extravagant trips, international relations, scholarships or marketing services, SECA is not what you are looking for. However, if you are like most of us and recognize that your future depends upon your ability to negotiate the best labor rates possible and manage your labor efficiently, SECA is the place to start.

SECA places emphasis firmly where its members desire and need it to be - educating and advocating in the negotiation process. SECA stays focused on the important issues and always works for us.

When all the smoke clears and you have to compete for and manage the work, your best bet for success is full control of the factors that affect your business. We can help provide you with the tools, advice and information to negotiate a solid deal. You will decide what works best for you and your business. We won’t get in the way.
