SBCA Magazine

The mission of the Structural Building Components Association (SBCA) Magazine is to increase the knowledge of and to promote the common interests of those engaged in manufacturing and distributing structural building components. Further, the SBCA Magazine strives to ensure growth, continuity and increased professionalism in our industry, and to be the information conduit by staying abreast of leading-edge issues. The magazine’s editorial focus is geared toward the entire structural building component industry, which includes the membership of the Structural Building Components Association (SBCA). 

The March/April issue shows how our voices matter and the importance of advocacy, a technical dive into the Snow Load Changes in ASCE 7-22, and covers how the Component Warning Notice is being implemented and adopted in the industry. In addition to great messages about making the most of SBCA membership, how to drive efficiencies within your business, and exciting information about the updated BCSI.
