SAACA  Sacramento Area Acoustical Contractor Association
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following is an explanation of who we are, what we do and what we want to accomplish.

We are an association of acoustical contractors, Union and Non-Union, located in the Sacramento area and the great valley of California.

 

We encourage all contractors active in this trade to join this association.  We offer a forum for those who are interested in business and personal growth, to exchange information and ideas.  I hope that all of you decide to participate and assist in the improvement of the acoustical environment in the area.

 

The purpose of this Web site is to share information (make it readily accessible) be unified in our interpretation of codes, standardize seismic codes and drawings, (by hiring an engineer to draw up compression post calculations, and also calc out the length that the posts become a detriment and should no longer be required).  Insurance requirements, contracts (Let us stand together against some of the outrageous language in the contracts and get it changed, we do have the power.  If more of us subcontractors would insist on better contracts, - contracts that do not have so much risk exposure for us - the generals would have no choice but to change the language in contracts) and understand Osha requirements.

 

Also as a recognized group, we can qualify for special rates for services that we all need from time to time.  

 

Let us all use this information to the benefit of our industry.  If we do this, it can only help each and every one of us.  None of us are lone rangers; we must all work together in the spirit of healthy competition.  Let us all bid in a realistic and profitable way.

Dear contractor; 

During the past three months several of us have searched for a method to accomplish the goal of forming a contractors organization to discuss issues that are pertinent to our industry, such as AGC contracts, insurance requirements, etc.   Also just to be able to meet in a social setting and discuss various topics among us would be beneficial to our industry and therefore to all of us. 

We have started the association, SAACA that stands for Sacramento Area Acoustical Contractors Association.  Of our current members some are union and some are non-union.  We also have a web site, which is very helpful.  It is a way to share ideas and business practices and also a way to have standardization for submittals and drawings.

The access to the web site is password protected.  It is meant only for the use of members.

We encourage all contractors active in this trade to join this association.  We offer a forum for those who are interested in business and personal growth, to exchange information and ideas.

Also as a recognized group, we can qualify for special rates for services that we all need from time to time.  

Let us all use this information to the benefit of our industry.  If we do this, it can only help each and every one of us.

I invite all acoustical suppliers and manufacturers to join and be part of this.  They cannot have a voting membership, but their input is invaluable to us, they benefit by being able to speak to all of us at the bi-monthly meetings, which will be held either at 1721 Second street, Suite 201, or at the Builders Exchange Conference room upstairs at 1331 “T” street, on the last Thursday of the month at 12:00 Noon.  The Location is posted on the SAACA Web Site. 

We have filed with the IRS as a non-profit organization and also with the State of California for an unincorporated organization.  We have posted our Bylaws and the Articles of Association at the Website.

Contractors: $250.00
