ABC SEMI Issue 4 2018

2 Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. Friends in Construction, This issue of the magazine is dedicated to ABC associate members. They are the service providers to the construction industry. Our associate members are the legal experts, insurance agents, equipment dealers, material suppliers, financial professionals, HR consultants, and a variety of other essential services that allow you to focus on your core business—construction. You can’t do your work without them doing theirs. At ABC, we consider our associate members as an important association benefit. They are an invaluable resource for construction companies because of their expertise in areas necessary to run your business. Since company owners can’t be knowledgeable in every nuance, you can let these companies do the hard work for you. While we can’t profile each and every associate member in one magazine, we encourage you to peruse your ABC Membership Directory any time you need an ancillary service. And if you still don’t know who to call, reach out to ABC and we can direct you to the expertise available at your fingertips. Best wishes and keep safe on the worksite.
