Advocating for Builders

Government

ABC is rooted in a philosophy committed to free enterprise and high-value, quality, safe, and innovative construction. Both the founders of ABC and our current members believe that a contractor and their craft professionals should be rewarded and paid based upon the respective effectiveness and value they bring to a project­—that one should succeed or fail based upon one’s merit. Members of ABC believe that free and fair competition is essential, and it requires a free market that operates without unfair constraints placed by special interest groups. Whether actively lobbying the legislature or just keeping abreast of legislation and regulations that affect their business, ABC members are given the tools to act on legislation and the voice to lobby for change.
