For over seven decades, the Wilmington Contractors Association has served as the gathering place for contractors, suppliers, and industry partners across southeastern North Carolina. From hosting signature networking events to funding scholarships that help students launch their careers in construction, we are proud to play a role in building both our city’s skyline and its future workforce.
For over 70 years, the Wilmington Contractors Association has served as the hub for contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and construction professionals across southeastern North Carolina.
Known affectionately as “WilCon,” our organization was founded on the belief that strong relationships lead to stronger projects- and stronger communities. We foster connections, encourage collaboration, and support the professional growth of our members while making a lasting difference in the lives of local students.
Established in 1950, WCA combines decades of industry experience with a forward-looking approach to building strong professional networks and supporting the next generation of skilled tradespeople.
Our association thrives because of the dedication of our members- contractors, suppliers, and partners who share a common goal: to strengthen the construction industry while making a positive impact on the region we call home.
Our events bring together contractors, industry leaders, and community partners to share ideas, explore opportunities, and form lasting partnerships.
Through our fundraising efforts, Wilmington Contractors Association has contributed over $157,000 to scholarships at Cape Fear Community College, helping students pursue careers in construction and related trades.
We take pride in supporting local initiatives that benefit the people and places we serve- because building a community is just as important as building a structure.
Wilmington Contractors Association serves as a collective voice for contractors in our region, promoting best practices, high professional standards, and fair business policies that protect both our members and the communities we build.
Beyond strengthening our industry, we are proud to invest in the next generation of skilled workers through scholarships at Cape Fear Community College and other educational initiatives. To date, WCA has raised over $157,000 to support students pursuing careers in construction and related trades.
The Wilmington Contractors Association is passionate about education and workforce development. Through fundraising events and generous member contributions, we’ve established several scholarships for construction-related students at Cape Fear Community College:
Every dollar we raise helps local students gain the skills, tools, and opportunities they need to excel in the construction industry.

Quality work speaks for itself. By sharing member projects, we demonstrate the professionalism and high standards that define our association.
Featuring projects is also a way to give members added visibility, showing potential members the recognition and connections they can gain through WCA.
