Connect your brand directly with key decision-makers in the civil construction industry.
Associate Membership with CCF NSW gives you the opportunity to align with the state’s peak employer body representing the civil construction sector in NSW. It is privilege that comes with access to the businesses that are – or could become – your customers.
From major head contractors to small subcontractors – if it is built in NSW, civil contractors are behind it. Our industry employs the workers who design, build, and maintain critical infrastructure – roads, tunnels, rail networks, essential housing-enabling works, and energy transition projects, shaping the future of our communities. The state of New South Wales (NSW) continues to invest into civil infrastructure development.
The benefits
If your market is civil contractors, you can join the network of CCF NSW members and be part of the largest networking body of civil contractors in New South Wales.
The core benefits of CCF NSW associate membership are Business Growth through Branding and Connecting.
Being a part of a membership organisation requires an investment in both dollars and time. We are convinced we offer that. You want a return for that investment, and you want to be treated with respect along the way.
Growing your business
CCF NSW associate membership provides direct access to information and insights about civil industry trends, issues, opportunities and operating environment, to aid your understanding of contractor member needs and how you can add value to their businesses.
Naturally, we cannot promise you will win work simply by joining CCF NSW – that’s your job to make happen. But, we do provide through our events, comms and promotions incredible opportunity to brand and connect yourself with our members. If you are willing to do the work and have a good service/product, you will GROW your business.
Our contractor members want to form commercial relationships with people and businesses that understand their industry and are willing to support it. In short… they look for people they can trust, and they use networks to do the qualifying.
- Our contractor members are constantly marketed to by a large range of suppliers and service providers; Associate membership offers an easy, trusted way for them to filter the huge volume of businesses that are vying for their business.
- Contractors understand that, by paying a membership fee to an organisation that supports them, you are serious about contributing to the development of their industry. It reflects in the often-quoted line “If you’re not willing to support my industry, why should I trust you with my business?”
- Contractors talk to each other. Is there any better form of marketing than a positive comment from an existing customer?
- Contractors rely on the collective buying power that CCF NSW brings. If they are having an issue with an Associate, they know it can be raised with us.
