McGraw-Hill Construction & ABC of Wisconsin Join Forces

McGraw-Hill Construction, the leading provider of construction project information, plans and specifications, has teamed up with the Associated Builders Contractors of Wisconsin to provide access to the McGraw-Hill Network with exclusive pricing for ABC of WI members.

Construction today is in a state of uncertainty as our nation’s economy threatens to continue to decline.  Overall non-residential construction nationwide is expected to decline 2% from 2007.  Construction in Wisconsin took a downturn in 2007, with a small rebound of 3% predicted for 2008. 

As construction becomes increasingly competitive firms are looking for every advantage in order to maintain/ grow their share of their local market. 

Industry intelligence and the use of technology in their workflows are two examples of tools that construction firms are able to utilize, so that they can streamline their processes and remain focused on their core strengths.
