To: Prospective Construction Clients and Interested Parties
You already know that there is no substitute for experience. This Official Building Trades Web Site is designed to acquaint you with the experienced Locals belonging to the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Building and Construction Trades Council.
In recent years, the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Building and Construction Trades have adopted a team approach, working with our signed contractors to eliminate those traditional past problems in construction such as rigid working rules, featherbedding, cost overruns and delays due to jurisdictional disputes. We believe that our progressive attitudes lead to even greater flexibility, efficiency and productivity for the contractors that are signatory with the listed Local Unions.
Additionally, we have worked to improve upon our traditional strengths. The Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Building and Construction Trades are able to provide a large number of highly skilled craftsmen, drawing from our access to a worker pool that includes all of the various crafts.
Our APPRENTICESHIP and TRAINING PROGRAMS which include journeyman re-training, are designed to ensure that your construction project is manned by workers who possess the highest level of skill possible.
Within the geographical area, both labor and management have recognized that you, the construction user, is indeed the customer, and we look forward to meeting your specific needs. Should you desire further information, please feel free to call our office at 319-396-7953.
