What Contractors Association Of Truckee Tahoe does

The technology backbone is the CATT Bid Alerts program, operated in partnership with Bedrok Systems (Bedrok Labs LLC). Homeowners submit project requests via SMS by texting BID to (530) 536-1115 or through a web form; CATT staff reviews and routes approved requests to opted-in member contractors by trade category, while contractors enroll by texting CONTRACTOR to the same number. Supporting digital infrastructure includes the online member directory at members.ca-tt.com, an event registration calendar, and an annual digital Building & Remodeling Guide distributed via Issuu. Marketing and member engagement are conducted through the ca-tt.com website, a monthly CATT Member News email newsletter, Facebook (@CATTContractorsAssoc), and the legacy CATT-A-LOG archive dating to 2012.

Regional players

• Building Industry Association of San Diego: Regional HBA serving San Diego County builders, subcontractors, and suppliers. Comparable regional trade association model to CATT (membership dues, advocacy, networking, member benefits) but serving a different California geography and a much larger metro area.
• Master Builders Association of King & Snohomish Counties: Regional HBA serving the greater Seattle/Puget Sound residential construction market. Comparable local trade association structure to CATT with membership dues, advocacy, events, and member benefits, but operating in a much larger urban market rather than a mountain-resort region.
• Sacramento Valley Home Builders Association: Regional HBA representing builders and associates in the greater Sacramento region of California. Closest geographic and operational peer to CATT within California, with similar member-driven advocacy, networking, and benefits model serving Northern California residential construction.
• Building Industry Association of Central California: Regional HBA covering Central California builders, remodelers, and suppliers. Closely comparable member-driven trade association model to CATT (advocacy, networking, training, member benefits) in a California region with overlapping residential building exposure.

Broad incumbents

• Associated Builders and Contractors: National trade association representing merit-shop contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers across commercial and industrial construction. Comparable to CATT in providing advocacy, training, networking, and member benefits, but with a national footprint and broader construction scope beyond residential.
• American Subcontractors Association: National trade association specifically representing subcontractors and specialty trade contractors in construction. Comparable to the subcontractor and supplier member segment CATT serves, with similar advocacy focus on payment terms, fair contracting, and member education.
• National Association of Home Builders: The largest national trade association representing the U.S. residential construction industry, with state and local HBAs as direct members. Comparable to CATT in mission (advocacy, networking, member benefits for builders and associates) but operates at a national scale rather than a single mountain region.
• Associated General Contractors of America: One of the leading national construction trade associations representing general contractors, specialty contractors, and service providers. Comparable advocacy, networking, and member-benefit model to CATT, but operating at national scale and focused on commercial/infrastructure in addition to residential.

Direct peers

• California Building Industry Association: The statewide trade association for the homebuilding industry in California, of which local HBAs (including CATT-adjacent ones) are typically members. Directly comparable mission around advocacy, regulation, and member services for building professionals operating in the same state as CATT.
• National Association of the Remodeling Industry: National trade association dedicated specifically to the remodeling industry, with local chapters. Highly comparable to CATT in targeting the remodeling and home-improvement segment of the building industry, with similar advocacy, education, networking, and member benefits.
