About the Northwest Indiana Contractors Association
Focused on the issues shaping the Northwest Indiana construction industry, the Northwest Indiana Contractors Association (NWICA) was formed in 2006 through the merger of the Calumet Builders Association and the Industrial Contractors and Builders Association of Indiana, Inc. Our contractor members employ skilled craftspeople across the region’s building trades, supported by associate firms that serve the industry.
NWICA negotiates labor agreements used by more than 500+ professional contractors throughout Northwest Indiana, helping members navigate labor relations and other critical industry matters.
