Executive Summary:Contractors build your world, the RHCA builds contractors… with over 1,700 member companies, the Regional Hispanic Contractors Association (RHCA) serves as a “Hispanic Chamber of Commerce” for the architectural, engineering and construction (A/E/C) industry.

The RHCA is unique in that the Chamber not only works with the owners and management, but with the frontline construction worker. The RHCA often provides the only Construction Safety training for these workers as well as serving as the outsourced safety division of many small contractors.

Members range from general contractors, sub-contractors, consultants, sub-consultants, construction workers, educators, students and non-construction industry members that find the RHCA a resource for economic opportunities and training.

The RHCA now has three offices to serve the A/E/C industry in North Texas. The first purchase was the RHCA Headquarters and Contractor Business Center with over 11,000 square feet dedicated to training and development in the heart of the Hispanic Community called Oak Cliff in Dallas, Texas. The second is a leased office minutes from downtown Fort Worth and as of July 2015 the RHCA purchased its second building to house the RHCA Women’s Contractor Business Center.
