The Association works with its members to promote the best standards of practice. It coordinates matters related to the members interests regarding labour, training, and standards of practice.

The AWCC provides technical resources services to members and to the specifiers and designers of wall and ceiling systems in BC.

Wall and Ceiling Specifications Standards Manual
The AWCC develops and maintains the Wall and Ceiling Specifications Standards Manual. The Association first published the Standards Manual in 1978.
