Construction Resources in Coconut Creek
As we strive to help give the commercial construction community a voice
in South Florida, we find it important to provide proper construction
resources and training. Whether you are already in commercial construction
as a builder or contractor, or you’re interested in joining the
construction trade, it’s important to know what resources are available.
At ABC East Florida in Coconut Creek, we’ve had over four decades
of experience in the industry, allowing us to fine-tune the resources
we offer. Below you will find a summary of the resources we have available.
Our construction training and resources
-
Hurricane protection: Hurricanes contain immense power and are capable of causing extreme damage
to buildings under construction; therefore, proper planning is essential
to help minimize potential damage. Our hurricane action planning kit contains
valuable tools and resources, including multiple checklists, team forms,
tables, and materials and equipment.
-
STEP (Safety Training Evaluation Process): Created in 1989, the STEP program is designed for large and small contractors.
By making safety one of our primary values, we ensure the entire construction
process is founded on solid, lasting principles. In fact, data revealed
that STEP participants beat BLS national averages in all lagging indicator
performance benefits. Best of all, we do not charge you to use STEP.
-
Photos: To supplement the material and information we provide; we have literally
thousands of photos from over the years for you to peruse. From networking
events to trivia nights, it’s all in the pictures.
-
Construction safety log: To help increase productivity, we provide a logbook with a clear, simple
format to take notes. Keeping records gives you an advantage in the case
of arbitration or litigation — all because you’ve been keeping
track of work authorizations, equipment rentals and more. We offer standard
and pocket editions for your convenience.
-
Construction site signs: All our signs meet the necessary Florida laws regarding sign language and
lettering. The reverse side is written in Spanish. All signs are durable
and can be used for multiple occasions.
-
Drug- and alcohol-free pledge: Take the pledge and be part of the coalition that calls for drug- and alcohol-free
work zones. Designed to give companies and organizations the necessary
resources, consider joining to help stop substance abuse incidents in
your work zone.
-
Office Depot discount program: When you join the Associated Builders and Contractors National Savings
Program, you’ll be entitled to permanent, highly discounted rates
at Office Depot and Office Max. You can save up to 80% on over 300 products,
including copy paper and printer ink and toner. Next-day delivery is free
