With contractors experiencing historic pricing on equipment and materials, SMACNA’s Government Affairs team would like to share real-world consequences with Members of Congress to advocate for relief and meaningful solutions. If your business has been affected by rising costs associated with tariff-related policies, we want to hear from you!
