the vision
from the beginning
The Trinidad and Tobago Contractors Association (TTCA) was established in 1968 by Mr. Granville Johnson, Mr. McDonald Murrell, Mr. Lepold Arthur, and Mr. Emile Elias. It serves as a platform for members to gain access to construction-related training and uphold set standards within the sector. The TTCA also advocates for contractors, working tirelessly to promote growth and development of the industry for their members and the public at large.The Association has been active for 55 years, operating in the Industrial, Residential, Commercial and Institutional Sectors. It consists of various sizes of firms, including general contractors, manufacturers and specialty construction suppliers.
The TTCA is managed by a Board of ten (10) Directors, including a President, Vice President and Secretary, who are owners or executives/officers of companies in the construction sector.
Members are elected to the Board at the Association’s Annual General Meeting and it should be noted these positions are volunteer-based without any remuneration. The TTCA Board of Directors have consistently been dedicated and committed, bringing their individual skills, knowledge, training and professional experience to provide guidance and direction for the Association.
The TTCA Secretariat is managed by a General Manager and supported by a small team.
Collectively, they spearhead numerous noteworthy efforts that are highly relevant to the construction sector in Trinidad and Tobago.
The Trinidad and Tobago Contractors Association works to support the construction sector in the nation by emphasizing the abilities, integrity and reliability of those involved in building Trinidad and Tobago.
