About Us

The Barrie Construction Association

The Barrie Construction Association evolved from the Barrie Bid Depository and Plans Room which has been operating since the  early 1950's. In the spring of 1987 an idea was put into motion to open a construction association which would address the needs of the ICI sector in the area. By the August of 1991 we had become incorporated as The Barrie Construction Association and in a few short years we have grown and expanded to  over 400 members. Our Membership base is made up from all facets of non-residential construction and related businesses. As we continue to grow are goal is to become the voice of ICI Construction in the Huronia Region.
