004 / Heritage

Our proud heritage.

In 1889, The Master Steam Fitters Association of Washington, DC started, with just six members, formed an association of responsible contractors and employers of skilled craftsmen in the construction industry.

That association evolved into the current organization, MCAMW. Today, MCAMW plays a significant role in the advancement of the construction industry in the Washington DC Metropolitan region. A strong commitment to education and training remains at the forefront of our mission, working alongside our labor union partners, advocating on legislative issues, and building a thriving community for all.
