ASA-Houston Chapter is the association of choice for the construction industry. A collective voice for a diverse membership committed to quality, safety, and ethics in construction, ASA-Houston Chapter advocates for legislative reform and provides educational opportunities for the subcontracting community. In 1966 the American Subcontractors Association was founded in Washington D.C. Its founders saw a need for an organization that could bring together subcontractors of all trades and labor practices to address common business management needs. In 1974 the Houston Chapter of ASA was formed. Today there are more than 3500 member companies throughout the United States and more than 150 in Houston who benefit from the education, networking, and advocacy ASA offers to its members.
