Turning Priorities into Progress: How ABA Delivers Impact Across Arizona
Why Impact Matters
In construction, results are everything. Blueprints and plans don’t mean much until a project is complete and standing tall. The same is true for advocacy and education. Ideas and priorities only matter if they deliver real-world outcomes.
That’s why the Arizona Builders Alliance (ABA) puts impact at the center of its mission. More than just a membership organization, ABA is a results-driven alliance that delivers measurable progress for Arizona’s contractors, their teams, and the communities they serve.
Impact That Strengthens Policy
ABA’s advocacy efforts don’t stop at talking points, they deliver results that change the business environment for contractors.
Recent wins include:
- Procurement Reform. Expanding project delivery options like design-build, CMAR, and job order contracting.
- Public-Private Partnerships. Opening new opportunities for collaboration and funding.
- Contractor Payment Law. Protecting fair and timely compensation for contractors.
- Fall Protection Policy. Preserving Arizona’s 6-foot standard and balancing safety with practicality.
- Prevailing Wage Challenges. Blocking ordinances that would have unfairly increased costs.
These results prove that when ABA advocates, contractors gain the policies and protections they need to grow.
Impact That Builds the Workforce
The future of Arizona construction depends on a strong, skilled workforce. ABA invests in training, development, and education that prepare professionals at every level of their career.
Highlights include:
- 26 Apprenticeship Graduates. Each completing over 8,000 hours of on-the-job training and 256 classroom sessions.
- National Recognition. An ABA apprentice earned 2nd place nationally at the National Craft Competition.
- 145+ Leaders Trained. Professionals completed ABA’s flagship leadership development programs in the past year.
- 1,000+ Participants. Contractors and staff attended ABA workshops on safety, finance, legal issues, and project management.
- $266,150 in Scholarships. Financial support helped construction professionals advance their careers without debt.
ABA’s workforce impact doesn’t just fill jobs, it builds lasting careers and strengthens Arizona’s economic foundation.
Impact That Elevates Members
ABA membership delivers measurable value that goes far beyond networking.
- 380+ Active Members. Contractors, specialty trades, suppliers, and service providers united under one alliance.
- 90% Retention Rate. Proof that members see consistent ROI from their involvement.
- 40+ Annual Events. From workshops to social mixers, ABA creates opportunities to learn, connect, and grow.
- 13 Member Committees. Giving members a direct voice in shaping policies, programs, and the future of the industry.
These results show that ABA isn’t just an association, it’s a platform where members lead, collaborate, and succeed together.
Impact That Serves Communities
Construction companies don’t just build projects, they build communities. ABA channels that spirit of service into high-impact initiatives that change lives across Arizona.
Recent community service results include:
- $46,583 Raised. Annual Backpack Drive providing essential supplies for Arizona students.
