Surface contracting

The associations of the surface industry are negotiating three separate nationwide, universally binding collective agreements: the collective agreement in the painting industry, the collective agreement in the waterproofing industry, and the collective agreement in the floor covering industry. Each association is responsible for tes negotiations in its own field, works to improve the operating conditions of the field, and supports, trains and advises its members in various labor law and contract law matters. 

About 350 companies belong to surface industry associations.  

The members of the associations are roofing contractors and roofing industrial companies, surface contractors, i.e. facade and painting contractors, and companies that manufacture, import and install floor and wall coverings. The sizes of the association's member companies vary from small one-person or family businesses to large companies employing hundreds of employees. 

All member companies of the Surface industry associations are also members of Rakennusteollisuus RT through their associations. 

The surface industry also includes Association of Teollisuuden Muurausurakoitsijat ry, which is an interest protection organization for companies engaged in technical masonry activities. The association's member companies supply fire-resistant structures mainly for the needs of industry.
