"Most of
the subcontracting force does not have enough time to monitor the
legislative activities in our state, cities and counties. ACT provides
the review, analysis and action plans about matters that affect subs and
their work environment. ACT saves time; ACT educates, ACT acts." |

| "Business
ownership has many advantages and also a lot of pitfalls for those in
the construction industry. Being a part of ACT allows us to network with
other companies to compare management practices and other business
elements. Networking has helped us to develop techniques to run more
efficiently and improve our bottom line." |

| "Safety is a
huge issue with ACT and should be with all subcontractors. ACT holds
monthly safety meetings that feature speakers talking about subjects
like electricity, driving safety and other general safety issues. We've
found that by improving safety, we've reduced our worker's compensation
and general liability claims, plus we've made our workers more
productive." |

| "ACT's
Business Practice Interchange allows subs the luxury of doing a
background check on a general contractor or homebuilder in regard to
proper supervision, change orders, retention, contract language and how
they pay their bills. This is all before you set foot out of your
office. It's like money in the bank." |

"The educational seminars sponsored by ACT, especially those that deal
with contract law and other legal issues affecting subcontractors, help
keep us abreast of new developments and serve to make our entire
industry stronger." |

"Through the SCF of Arizona, ACT provides better value and offers
solutions to the problems of facing subcontractors. After some subs
leave SCF and go to other carriers, they find out they don't get the
kind of personal, professional services that SCF gives ACT members." |

"I have seen ACT grow into one of the most active, purpose-driven trade organizations around. The SCF bonus dividend program is enough in itself to warrant joining, but there is so much more. My company has taken advantage of employee training services as well as seminars that has enhanced my understanding of business and needs. The exit planning seminar by Nate Sachs resulted in a new found friendship and valuable tool to bring me into long term planning with a purpose. The legal and political efforts are accomplishing things I would never have time to devot on my own, and I feel I have a team working for me as if they were part of my company. A very worth while investment....one that you cannot afford to pass up." |
