What Is ABC

Advanced Building Construction (ABC) refers to innovative retrofit and new construction solutions that combine industrialized construction techniques with high-performance, cost-effective building technologies. ABC improves affordability, comfort, resilience, and efficiency while enabling faster project delivery and better overall building performance. ABC solutions include new construction methods, advanced manufacturing techniques, and innovative business models that streamline development and reduce costs.

ABC Collaborative Activities

Foundational Activities 

We bring together industry leaders through events, working groups, and market research to provide insights on trends, build relationships, and support the national expansion of ABC. Our goal is to create a network of professionals equipped with the knowledge and resources to scale high-performance construction in markets across the country.

Market Mobilization Activities

The ABC Collaborative will mobilize local and regional industry and public sector actors to create hubs of ABC activity grounded in local needs and resources. These hubs will engage local policymakers, business stakeholders, and workforce institutions to create ABC-conducive market conditions that enable transactional ecosystems.

Transactional Activities

Each of these activities is designed to drive adoption of ABC. The Collaborative will coordinate a platform to facilitate and expedite transactional relationships and rapidly increase the rate of ABC activity. In addition, the Collaborative will support supply and demand actors with a series of enabling services. This support will ensure that suppliers and solution providers are able to establish successful business ventures and corporate partnerships and that developers, owners, and operators receive the appropriate ABC packages required to fulfill their real estate project and performance needs.
