Share Your Experience: Participate in SMACNA's Back Charges Survey

SMACNA members are invited to take part in an important industry study on back charges in HVAC and sheet metal construction projects.

This SMACNA-commissioned study examines how back charges arise, how contractors respond, and which practices lead to successful outcomes. The findings will support the development of a practical publication and tools tailored for SMACNA members.

Your input will help shape practical resources that address the real-world challenges contractors face across the industry.
