If you are a local business with a product or service you think would be of interest to the construction trade workers we want to hear from you.

To connect directly with the trade workers through the program, please contact us at joffresite@novachem.com.

How the Program WorksProvide us with your company information. What service(s) you provide, where you are located, website, email address, telephone number and any other information that you would like to include.  Any marketing incentives will be clearly outlined in our regular program business listing updates for workers.
