Bigger, Better, Stronger
To lead the construction industry, guided by the principles of Merit Construction and Free Enterprise, while promoting the highest level of quality, safety and training.
Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) is a national association with 75 chapters representing more than 23,000 merit shop construction and construction-related firms with nearly two million employees. To visit the national website go to: www.abc.org.
The Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter of ABC represents more than 500 members and is one of the leading chapters in the country. Our members are located in Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, Northampton, Carbon, Monroe, Luzerne, Pike, Wyoming, Lackawanna, Wayne, and Susquehanna Counties. Schuylkill and Berks Counties are shared with the ABC Keystone Chapter. We believe construction contracts should be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.
ABC has been helping merit contractors build their companies for over 50 years. We help our members grow by ensuring that merit contractors can compete freely and openly in the marketplace. Through our efforts we hope to help our members build better companies and build better lives. We offer our members a wide variety of services:
