ABC's Green Team
We're excited to launch the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Massachusetts Chapter's Sustainable Construction initiative, a direct result of the 2008 Strategic Planning Conference.
Mission
Our mission is to sustain the environment through awareness of available green construction practices and to work toward improving these practices through active collaboration.
Invitation
Green Building requires an integrated approach and informed buy-in from the entire project team including owners, architects, engineers, builders and end users. We recognize that as key members of the project team, construction professionals have a unique opportunity to contribute their expertise to the Green Building approach.
ABC Massachusetts members who want to participate in this exciting initiative are welcome to join the ABC Green Team; please contact ABC Massachusetts at (781) 273-0123 or (413) 733-0123 for those members in the western region of the state.
