What We Do
The BCA also seeks to represent and protect the interests of local contractors with regard to Direct Foreign Investment Projects. The Association acts as an interface between developers and local contractors and maintains a continuing dialogue with the Prime Ministers’ Office and the Foreign Investment Board. Bahamian experts in every phase of the development of construction projects can be found within the membership of the BCA and through the BCA’s integrated network are positioned to consult with foreign specialists to enhance and expedite investment projects through local regulations and best practices.
Lobbying
The most important endeavor of the BCA is its lobbying efforts in promotion of the passage of the proposed Contractors’ Bill, which seeks to, for the first time, license, regulate and control the construction contracting industry in the Bahamas.

Consumer Protection
The BCA is also committed to improving consumer protection and elevating construction standards within the Bahamas. To support these efforts the BCA has forged relationships with both domestic and international learning and vocational institutions. It also organizes continuing education for Contractors through its “Contractor Seminar Series”. Further, the standards and testing requirements for pending legislation and licensing requirements are at the core of the BCA’s educational arm.
