These are just a few words that describe Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. (ABC). Started modestly in 1950 by seven contractors in Baltimore, ABC has grown to a membership totaling over 22,000 firms in 70 chapters throughout the U.S., proving that the pooling of resources continues to be a valuable approach to addressing common industry challenges. ABC of Oklahoma was established in 1972 and is located in the 6100 Center Office Park in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Although ABC was born in a courtroom through its labor relations activities, it has developed into a full-service organization that provides apprenticeship and craft training programs, management education, marketing and networking opportunities, safety certifications, government relations and grassroots activities, and discounted products and services.
