The ABC Mission.
ABC will continually strive to be the leading voice promoting free enterprise within the construction industry. ABC will promote and defend the merit shop philosophy. This philosophy encourages open competition and a free-enterprise approach to construction based solely on merit, regardless of labor affiliation.
ABC values economic freedom within a free-market economy, with open and fair competition and diverse participants constantly striving to achieve the highest levels of personal and company performance.
ABC values the highest levels of personal and corporate standards of behavior characterized by responsibility, accountability and integrity, with demonstrated personal and industry professionalism by all participants.
We exist to advance the merit shop in the construction industry and to provide members and their employees with an opportunity to succeed.

ABC Member Discount Programs
ABC Worker’s Comp Fund
The ABC Fund administered by RPS Regency, is owned by its members and operates similar to an insurance company – providing the same employer protection and paying claims to employees injured on the job. For more than 25 years, the Fund has saved ABC members money by operating with reduced overhead, aggressively managing its claims and through industry-specific loss control efforts. The money that is not used to pay for claims, and any investment income, is returned to the members over time. As the Fund ages, ABC members receive profit returns from a number of Fund years. Also, the ABC Fund is protected from large losses by the purchase of excess loss insurance, further enhancing stability and profitability.
