NUCA Webinar Wednesday: Managing Material Costs in Construction, Sept. 2
In commercial construction, material costs consistently make up a substantial share of total project expenses. Even modest price shifts—due to inflation, tariffs, or supply chain disruptions—can put serious pressure on your margins. In a post-tariffs world, understanding and controlling these costs is more critical than ever.
Join NUCA and Fields Materials on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, at 2:00pmET for a discussion driven by proprietary data and exploring key economic forces shaping material pricing. From mechanical to electrical trades, we’ll break down current pricing trends, offer practical cost control levers, and demonstrate how AI can give your team a competitive edge—without overhauling your existing process.
This 30-minute free webinar will be presented by Eldar Sadikov. Eldar is the CEO of Field Materials, the leading AI procurement platform for contractors to streamline and automate material and equipment purchasing. Eldar comes from a family of civil engineers and their background in a large general contracting business building industrial facilities and commercial projects.
NUCA Webinar Wednesday: Beyond the Checkbox: How Safety Drives ROI and Profit, Nov. 4
Most safety records only tell you what didn’t happen, not what’s actually happening on your jobsite. NUCA invites our members to join Ryan Reber (SafetyReports) and Bracken Anderson (AlignOps) on Wednesday, November 4, 2026 at 2:00pmET for a look at the real cost of incidents (the part under the surface: turnover, delays, lost bids, premium creep) and how to catch the patterns before they become claims. Participants will leave with a framework for spotting risk in their own data, before it costs your company time and money.

NUCA Webinar Wednesday: Fleet Savings Made Simple — How Utility Contractors Can Cut Costs and Stop Fuel Leakage
Fuel theft, card misuse, and runaway fleet costs are eating into contractor margins — and most owners don’t know how much they’re losing until it’s too late. In this April 29, 2026, webinar, Coast will walk through the most common ways utility contractors lose money on fleet and field spend, and the practical steps you can take to get it under control. You’ll leave with a clear framework for evaluating your fleet technology stack and real examples of how contractors are cutting costs without slowing down their crews. Coast is the highest-rated fleet and fuel card in the U.S., built specifically for the trade and field service businesses that NUCA members run. Presented by Coast’s sales leader Greg Hanley.
Webinar Wednesday: Black Swan Events and Contract Review
In an increasingly volatile world, traditional contract risk assessments are no longer enough. NUCA’s March 11, 2026, webinar, “Black Swan Events and Contract Review: Navigating the Unthinkable,” explored rare, high-impact events-like geopolitical upheaval, pandemics, cyberattacks, and climate-related disruptions-that can unexpectedly derail contractual obligations. This 56-minute session presented by SuperLegal uncovered hidden vulnerabilities in standard contract language and provided practical strategies for identifying and managing exposure to these unpredictable risks. Through real-world case studies and expert insights, legal and procurement professionals in the utility construction industry will learn how to strengthen contract resilience and prepare for the unexpected. Presentation PowerPoint (in PDF).

Webinar Wednesday: Preventing Damages Before They Happen–Simplifying 811 Ticket Management for Contractors
Contractors carry the greatest risk when excavating—-yet they often have the fewest tools to manage 811 tickets efficiently. Our Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2025 webinar featured Marc Krichman of NUCA National Partner 811spotter. The “Preventing Damages Before They Happen” webinar will share how simplifying ticket processes helps contractors prevent damages before they happen, improve communication across the jobsite, and stay focused on safe, productive excavation. You will learn several practical ways to turn compliance into prevention and strengthen collaboration across the 811 ecosystem.
Webinar Wednesday: Building Better Routines: Connecting Operations & Finance
Our Oct. 15, 2025, webinar is now online featuring NUCA National Partner Assignar. Construction runs on routines: scheduling crews, logging timesheets, submitting invoices, chasing approvals. However, disruptions to everyday tasks often create delays, disputes, and manual processes that slow projects down and squeeze margins. The 53-minute webinar demonstrates how contractors streamline the routines that matter most. Learn how contractors are turning their weekly and monthly routines into repeatable wins: less admin, stronger compliance, and faster cash flow.
