The program sets companies apart from other contractor firms and gains them visibility within the industry through national publications, such as Construction Executive magazine. Plus, AQC members can use the program marketing tools provided to promote their credential, such as customized letters of recommendation, news release templates, use of the logo on hardhats, jobsite signage and bid documents. abc.org/aqc

By recruiting five new members, ABC members are automatically enrolled in the Beam Club by their chapter. Members receive one point for each new member recruited. Beam Club activity is ongoing from year to year, with members’ point totals continually accruing and advancing members to the next Beam Club award level.
