"As a regional general contractor, there is only so much we can do in regards to the construction industry’s governmental policy. The association creates our voice so that the State capital and D.C. sees the value that our industry brings when companies can come together in a business market. When we have the freedom to associate, we can build beautiful things. The ABC is the leader in protecting that freedom."

"We are an ABC member because we appreciate not having to walk through a picket line to get to our jobsite. We are an ABC member because we enjoy the fact that our General Liability rates have gone down for 14 consecutive years due to ABC backed tort reform.

We are an ABC member because we pay less than half the Worker’s Compensation rates that we paid when we went into business 14 years ago. This is a direct result of tort reform and limits on jury awards, both ABC backed items. We are an ABC member because the organization gives us direct access to subcontractors and suppliers in our area and them access to us as a General Contractor. We do business with people we associate with on a regular basis. We are an ABC member because we enjoy opening the specifications on a project to bid and finding out that it is not restricted to union only contractors through the use of Project Labor Agreements."

"Our membership with ABC has been very beneficial for the positive growth of our companies.
Starting as a small security contractor and growing into a commercial “all in one” solution within a 300 mile radius of Victoria. We have been blessed to align ourselves with the opportunity to work hand in hand with the general contractors in the surrounding areas…We give thanks to ABC for helping build & maintaining the network in which we are a part of. ABC truly works for… and works with us all… within the industry."

"As for me, I joined ABC to market myself and my company and I must admit I felt immediately welcomed in my endeavor. However, my initial reasoning for joining soon proved to be defective. You see, as a young construction manager I needed so much more than marketing, I needed mentorship, and it was mentorship that I received from the members of ABC. Even though it was not always the type or style of mentorship I wanted, it was always the type and style of membership I needed. Over the years I have met some incredible businessmen and it was through these meetings I grew not only as an induvial, but also in the success of my business unit as well. Sure, a lot of people have claimed to have “taught me everything I know,” but a lot of those people never understood that it was also the members of ABC that helped me become the manager I am today. It was also through these mentors I learned the true importance of what ABC does for the industry, and that is what they accomplish through the legislative process. That is right, ABC fights the good fight for all those who believe in the free enterprise system. And even though all free enterprise companies receive the benefits of these ABC led legislative endeavors, unfortunately many of them do not participate in the organization who makes their businesses success possible, ABC. In closing, I would say that that the most important thing ABC has done for me is providing me with the mentorship that allowed me to grow my business in an open and free market that they help our nation maintain."

"One of the most important things ABC does for my company is on a legislative level. In such a lawsuit happy atmosphere, I have some comfort in knowing ABC is lobbying for things like, Contractors right to repair, which helps protect contractors like me from frivolous lawsuits. Also, ABC lobbies for fair competition and Open shops in Washington. They fight our position in Washington, so I don’t have to walk past protesters or picket lines here in Texas. Thank goodness!"
