ABOUT ADCAS

Dedicated to ductwork contractors, allied suppliers, and manufacturers of equipment for ventilation and air conditioning systems.

A Common Interest

ADCAS was initiated by Ductwork Contractors but they quickly realised that the efficiency and profitability of their business was intricately interwoven with the services offered by draughtsmen/women, CAD operators, erection labour specialists, fire resistant ducting manufacturers/installers, plastic ductwork and fume cupboard manufacturers, kitchen canopy and hood manufacturers, testing and commissioning specialists and other allied specialist trades.

Together they represent the constituent parts of the air-conditioning and ventilation ductwork manufacturing and contracting sector of the modern building services industry and all will be able to seek membership.

By joining together under one Association with a common interest maximum effectiveness can be achieved for the ongoing benefit of the members and consequently for the clients and customers.

However, ADCAS also wants to attract those businesses which specialise in the supply only markets and also the manufacturers and suppliers of plant and equipment for ventilation and air-conditioning systems.

ADCAS offers associate membership to these businesses so that a mutual benefit can be achieved by working together for the advancement and development of airside products in an informed contracting environment.
