THE VOICE OF THE MERIT SHOP®

Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of California is a federation of the ABC Chapters in California. The ABC Northern California, ABC Southern California, ABC LA Ventura Chapter and ABC Central California Chapter work together to carry forward a common voice on common issues that impact Merit Shop Contractors in the California Legislature and Regulatory Agencies.

As an association of Merit Shop Construction Employers, our individual members believe in a philosophy of doing business in which companies reward employees based on performance and encourage them to reach their highest level of achievement and in which contracts are awarded based on safety, quality, and value, regardless of labor affiliation.

With a shortage of a skilled construction workforce in California, each ABC Chapter operates a workforce development training center that educates the construction workforce of tomorrow. Our Employer members are united in achieving the goal of a skilled and safe construction workforce in California.
