Guideline to Information Technology

More than 40 percent of construction companies do not have a dedicated information technology (IT) department, according to J.B. Knowledge's recently published Construction Technology Report. For small and medium sized specialty contractors, like most SMACNA members, that percentage is significantly higher. SMACNA's new "Guideline to Information Technology" addresses this gap by providing members with guidance on the proper combination of standardized hardware, software, and connectivity. This easy-to-read, 39-page document also includes two critical appendices: A Sample Disaster Recovery Plan and a Sample Information Technology Policy and Procedures Manual. So, if you're looking for a quick resource guide to navigating IT decision making and management, check out SMACNA's "Guideline to Information Technology".

This document is free to members in the SMACNA Store.

SMART/SMACNA Joint Letter to the White House Mar 15 2023

Upgrading Standards for Registered Apprenticeship Programs

On behalf of our thousands of union members and signatory contractors, the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART) and Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association (SMACNA) would like to reiterate our appreciation for the opportunity to share our recommendations with the White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment. The recommendations below address upgrading the standards for registered apprenticeship programs (RAPs) in 29 C.F.R. part 29 and supplement the recommendations in our December 6, 2022 letter to the Task Force, which focused primarily on requiring proof by an applicant for sponsorship of a RAP that the proposed program has “future sustainability,” i.e., it has the present and future financial and training capacity to provide broad-based, quality training to apprentices.


SMACNA Comments on Proposed Rule Mar 13 2023

“Guidance for Grants and Agreements,” 88 Fed. Reg. 8374

SMACNA Comments in support of the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Proposed Rule, Guidance for Grants and Agreements, which implements the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA Act), as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA).

SMACNA fully supports the IIJA – and, in particular, the “Buy America” portions of the BABA Act – because the law ensures that federal infrastructure investments are completed with American-made “iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials.  The “Buy America” requirements reinvest tax dollars in America, which creates jobs, ensures goods are produced under appropriate environmental and workplace safety standards, and protects America’s Economic and national security.
