About Us

The Piedmont Chapter, formed in the fall of 1984, is dedicated to bringing quality educational seminars to the local level and providing a local forum for the exchange of ideas.  Every October we partner with the Triangle, Charlotte and South Carolina Chapters to offer the Annual Carolinas Construction Conference. We also have a Chapter meeting  on the the third Tuesday of every other month, beginning in January.  In addition to offering CPE programming at our Chapter meetings, we also have recreational outings such as building site tours, and service days such as working with Habitat for Humanity.  We currently have 73 members and have two categories of membership: General membership is open to all types of construction contractors and suppliers and Associate membership is open to other interested parties including lawyers, public accountants, bankers and insurance carriers and agents.
