Associated Builders and Contractors and its members have accomplished so much over the past 75 years.

In 2025, we stood strong and set new records for contributions to ABC PAC and the Free Enterprise Alliance in a non-election year, positioning ourselves for success in this year’s elections. Supporting candidates who believe in our core values has proven, time and again, to be the most effective way to achieve merit shop wins.

ABC also helped its members win multiple legal victories against unfair, discriminatory project labor agreement mandates through bid protests. Nearly 90% of the construction workforce does not belong to a union, and that voice deserves to be heard for the good of the industry and for taxpayers.

We also celebrated a record number of Accredited Quality Contractors last year and increased participation in the industry-leading STEP^® Health and Safety Management System, to demonstrate just how safe ABC contractors truly are. You can do your part by joining the ABC Health and Safety Alliance and earning your AQC credential, which enables you to become an ABC Top Performer.

Looking ahead, ABC intends to set the standard not only for healthy and safe jobsites but also for how we help members become employers of choice. We are committed to attracting the best talent, recognizing their contributions based on merit and keeping our workforce safe, healthy and fulfilled in their careers.

We will continue to educate our members about transformative technologies that help improve safety, quality, productivity and profitability. One of the keys to our continued success is building and strengthening our membership. Every new member represents multiple voices and votes with legislators, and we all share a common belief in our purpose.

ABC will always stand for the rights of employers and employees and for the betterment of our industry. The most successful ABC members are the ones who are engaged. We succeed because we work toward shared core values and get quality work done safely, on time and on budget. No other organization fosters the level of trust and relationships that ABC does.

This year will be a year to remember as we celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday. Together, we will take ABC and our companies to the next level.
