Within southwestern Pennsylvania, union construction today has take on a new voice. Through the Builders Guild, we represent a unique partnership - union contractors, building trades unions, contractor associations and industry leaders working collaboratively to ensure that you get true value for every construction dollar you spend.

We are committed to being the premier value provider of construction servicesin the region that we developed this Customer Bill of Rights. It explains what you can and should expect from us.

As a unified industry initiative, union contractors and craftsmen guarantee:

A professional, cost-conscious project management team. From pre-job management through completion, you'll benefit from the solid business skills and supervisory experience union contractors bring to every building project.

Smart business know-how. The majority of our union contractors have been in business for more than 20 years - three times the national average. You'll benefit from our years of experience and the proven track records we bring to your job.

The best trained, most capable work force. Every union craftsman who reports to your work site brings skill, integrity and a professional work ethic to the job. Graduate apprentices completed 4,000 to 10,000 hours of classroom and on-the-job training, depending on the individual program. Professional tradesmen and tradeswomen hve received the specialty training needed to meet the complex chanllenges of your project. In fact, we spend more than $11 million on state-of-the-art apprentice and journeyman training each year in this region alone.

Pre-job planning through completion. Every project, big or small, receives the same commitment to quality and professionalism. Even before a job begins, the building trades and contractors will work with you to deliver cost-effective solutions to construction challenges. That means working as partners to keep your project on track, and resolving differences quickly, effectively and efficiently - without disrupting your job site.

Our commitment to a drug-free work force. When you work with a union contractor and the trades unions, you're getting drug-free work force. We've created a drug-free partnership that says "no" to drugs on the job site and that keeps your work site safe.

A safe work force and job site. We are committed to job safety that this region's union contractors are nationally recognized for having the safest work sites in the United States. Union craftsmen also are trained in the most advanced OSHA-approved and -certified safety programs.

Quality performance. Not only do we adhere to the industry's highest professional standards, we work every day to exceed them. And that means a coordinated project that reflects superior training, expertise, performance - and no compromises when it comes to the quality of the work.

Diverse work force. Union contractors and trades unions are actively recruiting women and minorities into the building trades. And we are working with WBE and WBE companies through a Protégé / Mentor Program to provide opportunities for all persons seeking a career in the construction industry.

Service you can count on. We'll work with you to answer any questions or solve any problems at your convenience. Excellence in customer service is our goal, and our members will do what it takes to identify resources, coordinate manpower and deliver quality with a profit.

Bottom-line, dollar-for-dollar value. Value is more than the initial bid price. It's brining the highest professional and performance standards to your job site - from the beginning of a project to its completion. We are committed to being the premier value provider of construction services in the region.

That's our promise - signed, sealed and delivered.
