About DISCA Houston

Who is DISCA Houston?

The Drywall & Interior Systems Contractors Association (DISCA) contractor members are based out of the Houston area but do work throughout the State of Texas and country. There are also supplier members that provide products and services to the construction industry such as insurance, consulting, material, etc.

DISCA members have a strong sense of community within the Houston area and the industry. They work together on task forces, committees and on the board to provide the members with up-to-date information, legislative support and subcontractor rights. Members range in size from the smallest local companies to some of Texas' largest drywall companies - and all are concerned about improving their bottom lines and receiving prompt pay for work properly performed.

DISCA is unlike any other organization you may know about or belong to:

• No where else will you find others so willing to stand up for drywall contractor rights.
• No where else can you get so much timely, authoritive information.
• No where else can you come face-to-face with so many people who are working to change today's drywall industry.

Construction is a big business - especially in Houston. Wherever there is big business, there is a lot of government legislation and regulations. DISCA keeps a finger on the pulse of what is happening in Austin during the legislative session. Legislators and decision makers hear from DISCA on issues that affect the drywall or construction industry business.

Networking

DISCA gives contractors the opportunity to meeting other contractors as well as the companies and individuals from companies that can supply the quality goods and services contractors need to make their business run efficiently. For suppliers, this is an excellent way to meet the contractors that need what they have to offer.
