National Contractors Alliance · Founding Class Enrollment
Every Trade. Every State. One Table.
The National Contractors Alliance puts licensed and licensable contractors of every trade at one table, with stronger access to licensure, bonding, capital, contracts, and protection.
Built by and for contractors who have been locked out of prequalification, bonding, and prime-contract opportunities. Open to every contractor committed to fair access and a stronger construction industry.
The Five Contractor Problems
Trades are divided by specialty but united by obstacle. Every membership class receives full and equal access to the same five pillars.

Bonding & Insurance Capacity
Surety and insurance partner access, bond-readiness review, working-capital positioning, underwriting documents, and group-rate development as programs become available.
3
Get Paid
State lien-right calendars, preliminary-notice deadlines, prompt-payment summaries, retention limits, project documentation, and claims support led by an SCLA-credentialed practitioner.
4
Workforce
Trade-specific training across thirteen trades, apprentice and intern pipeline development, school and workforce-board partnerships, OSHA training, and safety-program templates.
5
Contract Access
MBE, WBE, DBE, 8(a), and HUBZone roadmaps; general-contractor and public-owner prequalification packages; public solicitations; private GC vendor-list access; and estimating support across CSI divisions.

One Alliance core. Eight standing Trade Councils. A new Council may be chartered when fifteen members in good standing from that trade petition for one. No trade is denied representation because of size alone.
The Founding Charter Is Written
The National Contractors Alliance is organized under a written Founding Charter that states its mission, five pillars, member rights and obligations, Trade Council authority, governance structure, regional representation, and Founding Class protections.
Contractor Representation
Each standing Trade Council elects one representative to a two-year Advisory Council term. The Advisory Council meets at least quarterly.
Five Regions
West, Southwest, Midwest, South, and Northeast support contract distribution, convening, and state-level advocacy.
Protected Founding Rates
Founding dues rates remain in place for the life of an unbroken membership and are never reoffered after enrollment closes.
Founder and Administrator
S.F. Johnson Consulting & Construction Services administers operations, finances, staffing, service delivery, and the five-pillar programs.
The Founding Class is limited to the first 250 members admitted, including no more than 100 Charter Firms. The Alliance seeks at least two members in every standing trade across each of the five regions so no trade or region begins without representation at the table.
Membership With Rights and Standards
Membership is open to an individual or firm that holds—or is actively pursuing—a contractor license or trade registration in a United States jurisdiction and operates in lawful standing.
Rights of Every Member
Full and equal access to all five pillars; a primary Trade Council plus observer access to all others; advance notice of every contract opportunity distributed by the Alliance; use of the Alliance member mark while in good standing; and at least sixty days’ written notice before changes to dues, benefits, or governance take effect.
Member Standards
Members maintain lawful licensure, insurance, and standing where they work; deal honestly with clients and industry partners; protect the member roster from unauthorized solicitation; pay dues on schedule; and report changes in licensure status.
Founding Class Privileges
Lifetime founding rates while membership remains unbroken, permanent recognition on the Founding Member Roll while in good standing, first position in initial Trade Council elections, and priority consideration on contract opportunities distributed during the first twenty-four months.
Fair Process
A member may terminate with thirty days’ written notice. The Alliance may terminate for nonpayment, loss of licensure, or a substantiated finding of fraud or misconduct only after written notice and an opportunity to respond.
Upcoming Core Workshops
Alliance education follows the five problems—not generic networking topics.
