Together

we are ICBA

The Independent Contractors and Businesses Association (ICBA) has represented and supported the open shop construction industry in every corner of British Columbia since 1975.

ICBA members are entrepreneurs, businesspeople, and skilled construction professionals who are part of a community working together to ensure a safe, fair, highly-trained, and vibrant construction sector. This is a community of entrepreneurs and builders who look to drive future growth and that advocates for the contractors, businesses, and the men and women working in construction today.

With comprehensive and competitive group health and retirement benefit plans, an industry-leading workplace wellness program, innovative professional development and training courses, and strong advocacy, ICBA supports businesses of all sizes by drawing on the expertise and strength of our members to support innovation and a thriving construction industry.

We speak and advocate for more than 4,000 construction businesses and their more than 150,000 employees – working to move our industry forward and highlighting the important jobs and opportunities that flow from a strong construction sector. Big or small, all members are supported by ICBA.

Whether measured by number of members, clients, workers, or services offered, ICBA is one of the largest business and trade associations in Canada.

We are proud to be your voice, representing independent contractors and entrepreneurs in construction and all its sub-trades, in responsible resource development, and in homebuilding. By working together, we help build better communities.

Being a part of ICBA is like having a couple of extra staff members to help me manage apprenticeship paperwork, health and dental benefit plans, training, networking, wellness, advocacy, and more. It’s the best few hundred dollars I spend every year.
