Also known as the Council of Construction Trade Associations of BC,
or COCTA-BC, the BC Construction Action Team, consist of 12 trade
associations who represent nearly 1000 union and non-union trade contractors
and suppliers. Their members employ the trades men and women who install
electrical and mechanical systems, manufacture and install millwork,
install flooring and glazing, spray foam, hang drywall, lay bricks,
set tile and a myriad of other things.
A consistent theme amongst COCTA-BC
members is the commitment to quality in construction. This commitment
is evidenced by member involvement in many things, including worker
training and qualification, contractor and worker education, construction
standards, design manuals, technical support and inspection and guarantee
programs.
COCTA hopes that increased awareness
of the BC Construction Action Team will provide some recognition for
the organization that represents the men and women who actually "build
the buildings." World class tradesmen and women and the trade contractors
who employ them, are ready to help turn Olympic dreams into reality.
