Alberta Painting Contractors Association (APCA) leads in inspections and specifications as it celebrates its 20th anniversary Canadian Design and Construction Report Now in its twentieth year, the Alberta Painting Con- tractors Association (APCA) continues to educate and promote awareness among members and the indus- try, improving quality and accountability on every proj- ect. APCA general manager Kirk Beggs says though the industry's industrial side has slowed because of low oil prices, the industry is still active through commer- cial and large scale residential projects. “People are more educated about investing in and maintaining properties and in need of quality assurance for work done so that side of the business is very strong.” This interest in quality work and what it means to the life of a building is just one of the drivers behind one of the association’s key focuses: inspection serv- ices. Beggs says APCA is the province's original inspec- tion service provider. “Our inspections are taken very seriously. We ensure that the work is done properly and to the project specifications from preparation to final application. We ensure the owner gets the maxi- mum value for their investment.” ALBERTA PAINTING CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION www.idealcontractservices.com The Alberta Painting Contrac- tors Association (APCA) rep- resents the major players in the Alberta painting industry with a focus on commercial and in- dustrial projects.
