“RCA is pleased to join the ConsensusDocs Coalition,” stated Justin M. Elder, President of Elder-Jones, Inc., and RCA Board Member and Member Benefits Chair. “Inclusion in the Coalition provides a real voice for retail contractors in the development of contracts written by and for the industry.”

RCA is a national organization of contractors united to provide a solid foundation of ethics, quality, and professionalism in the retail industry. RCA’s mission is to promote professionalism and integrity in retail construction through industry leadership in education, information exchange, and jobsite safety.

ConsensusDocs Promotions the NASBP Membership Won’t Want to Miss

The ConsensusDocs has announced two promotions that the NASB membership won’t want to miss out on. First, ConsensusDocs is offering a 30% discount off ConsensusDocs document packages until May 15, 2016. Most NASBP Members, Affiliates and Associates know they are eligible to receive a generous 20 percent discount off ConsensusDocs contract document packages, using the promo code NASBP400 during checkout at www.ConsensusDocs.org, because NASBP is an endorsing member of the ConsensusDocs coalition.

However, ConsensusDocs is now offering a special 30 percent “Spring Discount” off its contract document packages. This discount is valid off retail pricing and is not to be used for current accounts or combined with other discounts. For NASBP members, affiliates, or associates that have not yet established a ConsensusDocs account, this may be a good opportunity to get started using ConsensusDocs! So save 30% on ConsensusDocs documents by using this promotional code:SPRING30 on ConsensusDocs purchases made by May 15, 2016.

These promotions are just two of the many benefits NASBP is able to offer its membership because of NASBP’s participation as an endorsing member of the ConsensusDocs Coaltion.
