Abbott
Building Company has served thousands of customers in a variety of industries
since its inception in 1954. We believe that our longevity is best explained
by the following set of organizational traits and values which we utilize daily
to help focus our collective efforts from project inception to completion:
Experience - is something that you won't have to pay for. Yet
its absence can cost you plenty. ABCO's core employees enjoy over 270 years
of combined experience in the steel building industry. Through many thousands
of separate building contracts since 1954, ABCO has learned to understand and
value our customers' needs and to routinely deliver products and services which
exceed their expectations.
Flexibility - is something that we pride ourselves on being able
to deliver. ABCO provides its own engineering, design, and fabrication services
which help to ensure the timely delivery of a quality product of virtually any
shape or size without undue cost to the customer.
Integrity - is an invisible force which drives ABCO's adherence
to strict quality standards. We understand that both the presentability and
the functionality of your building are paramount and we remain uncompromising
in our insistence that a superior level of quality is maintained at every level
of service throughout our entire organization.
Responsibility - is an intangible characteristic…..until you need
it. ABCO performs most of the required engineering, design, fabrication, concrete,
steel erection, and finish-out services with its own personnel. Additionally,
ABCO maintains close working relationships with a limited number of suppliers
and sub-contractors to ensure that each project is completed timely and in accordance
with our quality standards. We truly understand that time is money and that
your project represents a significant investment which, in order to perform
to your expectations, must be completed on schedule.
Employee Relations - ABCO's relationship with its employees is
one of mutual admiration and respect. The Company, in its concern for the present
and future welfare of its employees, provides a generous benefits package and
an extensive, mandatory safety training program. We sincerely believe that the
costs of providing a safe and rewarding work environment for our employees are
far outweighed by the benefits of employing a group of men and women whose efforts
are reflective of their loyalty and satisfaction.
