RCA's Membership Committee plans regional networking events that bring together RCA members, sponsors, benefit providers, and other supporters. Each evening typically includes an activity (tour, sporting event, roundtable discussion), followed by networking. The events are sometimes planned to coincide with other industry events and conferences. We have held regional events in Atlanta, Boston, Cleveland, Columbus, Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York, Orlando, Miami, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and Phoenix. There is no fee to attend these events, but registration is required. 

Visit our event calendar for a listing of current events.

Home Depot Rebate Program

RCA is pleased to partner with Home Depot for a rebate incentive program. As a member, you have the opportunity to utilize this incentive as well share the benefits with your preferred subcontractors.

RCA members can receive a 2% annual rebate on all qualifying pre-tax purchases, with a minimum of $25,000 in purchases. There is no cost to enroll and signing up is a quick and simple process. You can register any form of payment accepted at The Home Depot — including checking accounts, credit cards, debit cards and existing The Home Depot accounts. Rebate payments are issued annually (rebate year is April 1 – March 31).

If a qualifying purchase is made in store at Home Depot and the retailer, Menards, is within a certain radius of this location, the Home Depot purchase will be eligible for the 11% rebate. This can be earned in addition to the RCA 2% rebate. Certain brand purchases (Weber and John Deere) do not qualify and if a gift card is used for the purchase, the 11% will not be earned. Only 16 states currently participate in the rebate program. Please review the additional information in the Members Only section.

Compensation Survey

Employee retention is an important issue for everyone’s business. RCA periodically conducts a compensation and benefits survey of its member companies. Those who participate benefit from having a fresh perspective of compensation standards in retail construction.

Compensation is a critically important component in retention strategy. RCA's compensation survey is a great tool for evaluating how your pay and benefits compare to other companies specifically performing retail construction. Other sources of information are not as directly comparable to our retail contractor-based membership. All member companies have an opportunity to participate in the RCA survey and participating companies will receive the results of the survey free of charge.

The confidentially of each respondent company's data is well protected. No company identification is contained in the survey results. RCA's directors, officers and members do not have access to the returned surveys and the originals are destroyed following compilation of the data.

The survey is conducted every three years; the last survey was conducted in 2017. If you participated in the survey and need a copy of the report, contact [email protected].
