The National Construction Association of Sri Lanka (NCASL) is dedicated to foster and promote the interest and advancement of the construction contractors & that of construction industry, while representing and leading the construction contractors in Sri Lanka. NCSAL is providing a necessary technical support to its contractors in various ways.

In order to develop, strengthen the membership and to obtain clear understanding about the aspirations and the problems faced by fellow member contractors' operating in different parts of the country, the Association established branch network in all the provinces of Sri Lanka. The Branches which operate with a separate management structure of NCASL and all Chairmen of the Branches were elevated as Board of Directors with full voting rights. This decision has empowered the entire membership of all the Branches to report their concerns to the Association through their legitimate representative and seek solutions for them.

Annual General Meetings and the Awards Ceremonies of the Branches were very well planned and colourfully implemented with the participation of most of the Senior Officers in the Provinces and sometimes with Political Authorities as well. Maintenance of the high standards, procedures coupled with methodically planned sessions gained confidence and acceptance of the National Construction Association of Sri Lanka among the Politicians and the Senior Officials in the provinces.
