About the Trust
A member-owned benefit trust serving merit shop builders across California.
The ABC California Benefit Trust Fund exists for one reason: to give merit shop contractors the same purchasing power that large national firms take for granted.
By pooling member companies into a single network, the Trust negotiates collectively competitive insurance rates and benefit options that no single small or mid-sized firm could secure on its own. Whether you employ five people or five hundred, you access the strength of the whole.
The Trust is governed by member employers — not an outside insurer — so decisions are made with your business and your crews in mind.
Why employers join
Pool purchasing power across member firms for collectively competitive rates, regardless of your company's size.
A strong benefits package helps you attract the industry's best talent and keep them working with you for the long haul.
Lean on the Trust's call center and administration so your team spends less time on benefits paperwork.
Merit shop philosophy
The Associated Builders and Contractors merit shop philosophy believes in awarding contracts based on merit — on doing the best work at the best value. But you are only as strong as the professionals you employ. A competitive benefits package is how merit shop contractors compete for talent against everyone else in the market.
That's the foundation the Trust is built on: keeping your bids competitive while enhancing your employees' benefits and keeping them working.
