Westchester, NYThe Blue Book of Building and Construction has officially announced their participation in the Associated Builders and Contractors Business Partner Program.

Effective immediately, all ABC members will be eligible for free display ad enhancements when they purchase targeted marketing programs in The Blue Book’s regional print and online editions. ABC members that are currently Blue Book customers will be offered similar opportunities to increase exposure through their existing Blue Book program.
To provide ABC members with additional information resources, project opportunities and more efficient communication during the time-sensitive bidding stage, The Blue Book’s complete vendor database and BB-Bid system will be accessible via a link from the ABC online membership directory www.findcontractors.com - located at www.abc.org.
BB-Bid, the industry’s leading online bid management system, will enable ABC’s general contracting members, through search filtering options, to message “Invitations to Bid” to their selected private vendors, ABC members and Blue Book listings.
“We’re excited to launch this new business partnership with ABC. It demonstrates our commitment to support organizations such as ABC, which play such an integral role in our industry. We look forward to helping all of their local members leverage The Blue Book’s information and marketing resources to help build their business,” said Richard Johnson, The Blue Book’s General Manager.
"ABC is pleased to provide our members ready access to the portfolio of construction resources that The Blue Book has developed," said Kirk Pickerel, president and CEO of ABC. "We are confident The Blue Book offers tools that will help ABC member contractors develop new business and increase their operational efficiency."
