Membership is available to all businesses in the construction industry that believe in the Merit shop philosophy. The Merit Shop philosophy is based on the belief that every company has the right to bid and be awarded contracts based solely upon the merit of their work, and NOT on their affiliation with labor organizations.
Associated Builders and Contractors of Michigan (ABC-MI) is supported by four local chapters. These chapters are: Central Michigan, Saginaw Valley, Southeastern Michigan and Western Michigan. Companies who are interested in membership join ABC through these local chapters. When you join your local chapter a portion of your total dues goes to both the state and national organizations. As an ABC member you will not only belong to your local chapter, but you will be a part of the nearly twelve-hundred Michigan members and the twenty-five thousand contractors and suppliers that belong to Associated Builders and Contractors nationally.
