Executive Summary:
Contractors build your world, the RHCA builds contractors… with over 1000 member companies, the Regional Hispanic Contractors
Association (RHCA) serves as a “Hispanic Chamber of Commerce” for the construction industry.
The RHCA is unique in that the Chamber not only works with the owners and management, but with the frontline construction
worker. The RHCA often provides the only Construction Safety training for these workers as well as serving as the outsourced safety
division of many small contractors.
Members range from general contractors, sub-contractors, small business owners such as engineers and architects, construction
workers, educators, students and non-construction industry members that find the RHCA a resource for economic opportunities and
training.
The RHCA now has three offices to serve the construction industry in North Texas. The first purchase was the RHCA Headquarters and
Contractor Business Center with over 11,000 square feet dedicated to training and development in the heart of the Hispanic
Community called Oak Cliff in Dallas, Texas. The second is a leased office minutes from downtown Fort Worth and as of July 2015 the
RHCA purchased its second building to house the RHCA Women’s Contractor Business Center.
The Women’s Center was developed in response to the fastest growing sector of our industry “Women” in construction, architecture
and engineering. This Center is dedicated to the advancement of women in the construction, architecture and engineering industry.
With more women graduating with engineering degrees the RHCA Women’s Contractor Business Center will be a resource for
mentoring opportunities and creating a hub for general and sub-contractors seeking to hire the best in our industry. In addition to
partnering with other women organizations the Center will continue to partner with the young women from Uplift Williams
Preparatory, a school dedicated to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
The RHCA, in partnership with the RHCA Foundation, funds university scholarships of $20,000 or more per student. With over 8
students graduating from prestigious universities such as Texas A&M, Rice University and Southern Methodist University, the RHCA
impacts all levels of the construction career chain: high school students, university students, employees and entrepreneurs.
The RHCA’s Contractor Business Center is the only one-stop shop in the country. It is a “Project Based” contractor business center
that serves as a national model in assisting new, small and emerging general contractors and subcontractors with project
procurement, construction safety and sustainability.
The Contractors Business Center is market-driven, construction assistance designed to impact the entire local construction industry by
scaling the number and capacity of local construction related businesses. The Center assists contractors with completing and
submitting bids and contracts that position them for success in a competitive marketplace.
The built environment represents a national investment valued at over $300 billion. The RHCA prides itself in keeping abreast of and
adhering to the industry’s key best practices through delivery of direct services to our members, as well as, non-members in the
industry. Our services include, but are not limited to:
• Advocacy
• Benchmarking
• Business & Administrative Training/Certifications
• Supply Chain Management
• Procurement
• Sustainable Construction
• Partnering
• Whole Life Costing
• Risk Management
• Value Management
• Health and Safety
• Lean Construction
The RHCA provides all training opportunities in English and Spanish as needed training (concepts in Spanish and vocabulary in
English). Knowing that English is the language of the global marketplace, we want to enable our construction workers, contractors,
small and emerging businesses to be prepared for the challenges of competing in this environment.
In the last ten years, there has been a dramatic change in the way construction activity is being undertaken. “The construction sector in Roads and
Bridges is one of the largest and most important in the economy, employing over 7% of the workforce. The sector contributed 4.5% to the GDP and put
in place added value assets worth over 12.5% of GDP in 2005. A 10% efficiency gain in this sector would result in a 1% increase in GDP“, Construction
and Professional Management.
With nearly 220,000 Hispanic-owned construction firms in the United States, US Census, generating $31.5 billion, US Census 2006; and Hispanics
representing a 30% increase in the US labor force which made up more than 15% of the total construction industry, US Census; the RHCA is strategically
positioned for continued Hispanic employment in the construction industry and the challenges of competing in the global marketplace.

Ethos
The founders of the RHCA created the association with the ethos that this group of contractors should make it easier for the next
generation of contractors
Mission and Vision
The mission of the Regional Hispanic Contractors Association is to promote and support the advancement and economic growth of Hispanic
Contractors in Texas. The RHCA is committed to developing programs and facilitating the resources needed to help Hispanic Contractors
reach their full potential and capacity.
The vision of the RHCA is to be the recognized authority in managing the development and construction of projects and programs in the
north Texas region – an area encompassing fifty-three counties. Through on-going and advanced training; professional development;
attainment of certifications; advocacy; and inclusion that serve to ensure access to capital, procurement opportunities, insurance and
bonding, construction safety, and industry legislation, the RHCA will play a critical role in the industry and profession.
Membership in the RHCA includes more than 1,400 member companies: contractors, engineers, architects, trainers, and students – the
stakeholders in the construction industry are RHCA members. The association membership is interested in excellence of execution which
includes rapid completion, adherence to specifications, conscientious cost control, construction safety and optimum use of resources.
What We Stand For
Founded in 1995, the impetus for this professional construction association grew from the recognition throughout the design and
construction community that quality-focused, cost-effective, dispute-and injury-free project delivery does not occur without a deliberate
commitment and effort to manage the project delivery process. The cost and complexity of today’s capital projects, the importance of
time, and the need to deal with unanticipated events all speak to the need for an integrated and organized approach to planning, design,
and construction of the built environment. Additionally, the RHCA recognized the imperative need to advocate for small and emerging
businesses, particularly minority owned businesses, in order to ensure their inclusion as the general or sub-contractors. By providing quality
training to all seeking assistance – 48% of trainees are non-members – the RHCA has impacted the construction industry and profession
throughout the north Texas region.

No. 3: RHCA Women’s Contractor Business Assistance Center
The Guardian Small Business Research Institute projects that women-owned businesses will generate 5 million new jobs by the year
2018, because 1 out of every 10 employees works for a women-owned business and because of women owned businesses exceed 3
trillion dollars the RHCA has established the RHCA Women’s Contractor Business Assistance Center with its own building and
management.
The program includes a Construction Business Management Certificate:
• Financial planning to expand the company
• Supplier diversity; how do I participate?
• Bonding; best practices, does & don’ts
• Blueprint reading & cost estimating
• Project planning & scheduling
• Contract management
• Legal Considerations
• Job cost accounting
• Safety training; OSHA 10
No. 1: Funding
As one of the fastest growing non-profit organization, funding and cash-flow continues to be a challenge as our
stockholders “members” need to make decisions like renewing their membership, supporting through sponsorships
or making payroll. This is a constant red hot issue. We currently have four major funding needs: the association
itself; the RHCA headquarters building renovations and maintenance; the RHCA Women’s Contractor Business
Center building renovations and maintenance; and training instructors and curricula.
No. 2: Talent and Leadership
Finding, acquiring, and funding talent including volunteers, consultants, board members and staff is a major
challenge. As the RHCA continues to grow so does the complexity of the operations, business, services and asset
management; the RHCA now has assets, property, contracts and a large membership. The talent needed to
maintain, manage and develop these has grown in scope and sophistication.
No. 3: Strategic Planning
Strategic planning is critical to the vibrancy of the association. As an Industry “Chamber of Commerce” staying
ahead of any new trends while reinforcing core business strategies is critical. This is especially true when the dayto-day activities of the association take a major portion of the resources and time.
Strategic planning ensures that the Chamber remains on the forefront of
developments facing the RHCA, its members and the industry. Like most small
businesses we struggle to lift our heads to plan our future as we stay focused
on the daily obligations and needs. Every major accomplishment the RHCA has
achieved has first been part of the strategic plan.
Future accomplishments mean a good strategic plan.
No. 4: Customer Service (membership services)
Customer Service is the lynchpin between the association and the membership. 20 years ago when the RHCA had
42 homogenous members, customer service was simple. One workshop or one networker addressed all the
members’ needs. Today, with over 1,400 members, there is no one activity or service that addresses each
member’s needs. Keeping and servicing a member is an ever present challenge.
No. 5: Capacity Building and Diversification of Services of RHCA Member Companies
There are several types of robust construction markets with historically low participation of Hispanic, African
American and Woman owned contractors including heavy highway, bridge and road work and water pipelines.
These projects usually require companies that can work on larger and more complex projects with high operation
and expensive start-up costs. These projects are well funded, long term and in need of M/WBE participation. Over
60% percent of the RHCA membership are small contractors with a high concentration on finish-out work: painting,
cement, drywall… Increasing capacity and diversification of services is key if RHCA members want to continue to
grow and develop.
