- To foster and promote constructive legislation.
- To promote better relations with private industry and with agencies of the federal and state governments and other political subdivisions which require construction services.

Special aims:

- To place the business risks assumed by contractors as near as possible on a parity with the risks of other industries of production.
- To provide for collective bargaining as a group with employees and with the building and construction trade unions.
- To secure uniformity of action among the members forming the chapter on the general principles set forth in the construction and bylaws of this chapter and upon such other special lines of action as may be decided upon from time to time as being in the best interest of the chapter and for the good of the industry as a whole.
